I Was in Prison, and You Came to Me | Jonathan Irons tells his story of Redemption

At just 16 years old, Jonathan Irons was tried as an adult, convicted, and sentenced to 50 years in prison—all for a burglary and assault he didn’t commit. Strengthened by his faith and a prison ministry that believed in him, he endured 22 years of incarceration before being released in 2020. Today, he and his wife, former WNBA superstar Maya Moore, run Win With Justice, a nonprofit educating the public about how the justice system works, the potential for abuses that exist—and how people can help prisoners looking for a second chance. This week Jonathan tells his stunning story to Paul Amos and Nate Dewberry, and shares his reflections on how anyone can live out Jesus’s call to help “the least of [His] people.”
