The story follows Slepian on years of prison visits, court hearings, and street reporting that led to a series of powerful Dateline episodes and eventually to freedom for four other men and to an especially deep and lasting friendship with one of them, Jon-Adrian \"JJ\" Velazquez. From his cell in Sing Sing, JJ aided Slepian in his investigations until his own release in 2021 after decades in prison. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLike Bryan Stevenson's \u003ci\u003eJust Mercy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Sing Sing Files\u003c\/i\u003e is a deeply personal account of wrongful imprisonment and the flaws in our justice system, and a powerful argument for reckoning and accountability.
