1 NOV 2024 · Ben is dropping back in the feed to bring you his new podcast from Audible Originals: The Parole Room. Will Johnnie Veal—convicted of the murder of two police officers in 1970—be granted parole after fifty years in prison? How can he convince the parole board he’s reformed when he insists he’s innocent? What is prison time even supposed to accomplish? These are the questions that propel The Parole Room forward as it builds toward Johnnie’s twentieth parole hearing—after nineteen rejections. The Parole Room is an intimate journey with Johnnie, a deep dive into the criminal legal system, and a parole-room drama—taking listeners behind the curtain to hear tense deliberations as they unfold.

It was revolutionary, but missed something happening at the same time at the same school, something we know now in part from the story of the school's most famous inmate: Ella Fitzgerald.
