Book Club | Jarrett Adams - Redeeming Justice | Garrett Peterson
from Sirens
Raven Rollins sits down with civil rights attorney, advocate, and author Jarrett Adams for a powerful conversation surrounding wrongful conviction, resilience, justice, and storytelling through lived experience.At just seventeen years old, Jarrett Adams was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to prison for a crime he did not commit. After spending nearly a decade incarcerated, he was eventually exonerated — a journey that would ultimately lead him to become a civil rights attorney fighting for others impacted by systemic injustice.The discussion centers around his memoir, “Redeeming Justice,” which Jarrett also narrates in audiobook form, offering listeners an intensely personal perspective on survival, identity, incarceration, and rebuilding life after exoneration.Together, Raven and Jarrett explore the emotional realities of wrongful conviction, the failures within the justice system, advocacy work, and the responsibility that comes with telling true stories rooted in trauma and injustice.ADDITIONAL CONTENT INCLUDED IN THE SIRENS VERSION:This episode also includes an additional discussion surrounding the cases of Jeffrey “Garrett” Peterson and Anthony Mealy from Ada, Oklahoma — both of which Jarrett Adams has worked on as an attorney. That extended portion of the episode (differing from the one released on Dreadfully Yours) features further conversation about the cases, wrongful conviction concerns, and an interview with members of Peterson’s family regarding their ongoing fight for justice and answers.Advocacy.
