Kerry Myers - Represent Justice Ambassador

Kerry Myers has such a gentle and kind spirit, filled with endless wisdom. Kerry has taught us many things – from sharing the insights he gained from his reporting as a journalist, to his policy expertise, to being the very example of what forgiveness looks like in action. He is the Deputy Director of Louisiana Parole Project, a nonprofit organization that provides legal representation and residential reentry services to parole eligible persons sentenced to life in prison while children, other eligible life-sentenced persons, and those who have been incarcerated 20 years or more with demonstrable records of rehabilitation. In April 1990, Kerry was wrongfully convicted at a trial riddled with misconduct and since-discredited expert testimony and sentenced to life without parole for second degree murder. After fighting for exoneration for 27 years, Kerry was unanimously recommended for commutation and immediate release by the Louisiana Board of Pardons and Parole in September 2013. While incarcerated, Kerry edited the national award-winning Angolite magazine. For its coverage of the death penalty, children sentenced to life without parole, and criminal justice reform issues, he was recognized with the 2007 Thurgood Marshall Journalism Award, the PASS Award for Journalism in 2011, and three APEX Awards of Excellence for Magazine and Journal Writing. Every day, we’re inspired by your compassion for others and pursuit of the truth!
