In this powerful follow-up episode, Jamie Nelson returns to Wrongfully Yours to share the next chapter of his wrongful conviction journey—what life was like inside prison for a man who knew he was innocent. Jamie describes the fear, isolation, and transformation he endured in order to survive in a system that treated him as disposable.
He speaks candidly about choosing to spend 16 months in solitary confinement so he could access documents and continue fighting for his freedom. We hear how, after years of persistence and with the help of lawyer Todd Ducharme, Jamie finally reached the Ontario Court of Appeal—where, in a historic moment, a Crown attorney conceded his appeal.
Jamie also opens up about the emotional aftermath of exoneration: the difficulty of rebuilding relationships, reconnecting with his children, and the pain of missed milestones. And yet, through it all, his story is one of resilience, love, and a relentless pursuit of justice and connection.
