An NBC Dateline producer’s account of his two-decade-journey through the criminal justice system to free six innocent men falsely imprisoned for murder.
“A remarkable, moving account about the lives of people who have been too easily discarded, forgotten and condemned. These compelling narratives help us understand why we should do better when it comes to punishment and justice in America.“
—Bryan Stevenson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Just Mercy
“Dan Slepian’s engrossing insider’s narrative lays bare the infuriating incapacity and willful blindness of New York prosecutors, police, defense lawyers, and judges to recognize and correct wrongful convictions. The Sing Sing Files is a vitally important book that inspires hope that we can and will do better.”
—Barry Scheck, Co-Founder and Special Counsel, the Innocence Project
“Dan Slepian has written a book that is as informative as it is enraging. In these gripping case studies of innocent men wrongfully convicted, you learn how and why the truth often does not prevail in the American justice system…This is a must-read for anyone who cares about criminal justice, mass incarceration, or humanity.“
—Rachel Barkow, author of Prisoners of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass Incarceration and Professor at NYU, School of Law
“A gripping, highly effective true-crime synthesis. An excellent addition to the body of work documenting a pervasive societal injustice.“
—KIRKUS, starred review
