Ron Jacobsen, a U.S. Navy submarine vet, was born and raised in New York. He was wrongfully convicted in 1990 in Georgia and sentenced to life plus 20 years. After over 30 years on Georgia's chain gang, the Innocence Project took on his case in 2013, and he was exonerated through DNA in August 2021. Now living in Arkansas with his partner Lindy, whom he met the modern way, online, he’s learning to trust again while also navigating PTSD and insomnia. He enjoys fishing, gardening, and embracing life in the "free world," with the love of his life by his side.
