Chicagoan Jarrett Adams was wrongfully convicted and incarcerated for nearly 10 years.

At 17 years old, Jarrett Adams, a black boy from the South Side of Chicago, was convicted of raping a college freshman, a white woman, at a university in Wisconsin. Adams would spend ten years of his young life in prison for a rape he always maintained he did not commit. He spent those years studying the legal system to overturn his own case — and then eventually, becoming a lawyer himself.
