jerome dixon
21.5 years – a time in which Jerome’s spirit learned to soar. His journey is marked by unwavering resilience and an undying quest for justice, leading to his exoneration. Today, Jerome’s story is the foundation of 21v, a beacon of hope and empowerment for all.
From Injustice to Reform
How Jerome’s Story Helped Shape Landmark Youth Rights Legislation
A catalyst for change
Jerome’s experience, marked by the harsh realities of a false confession, has been instrumental in passing critical US Senate Bills – SB 395 and SB 203.
championing young people’s rights in the justice system
- SB 395 ensures that youths under 16 receive legal counsel before waiving their Miranda rights, a significant step forward passed with bipartisan support.
- SB 203 extends this protection, requiring minors under 18 to consult with an attorney before any custodial interrogation.
