Today on Workin’ It Out, we meet a man whose life was stolen - and reclaimed. Arrested at 22 for violent crimes he did not commit, Jimmie Gardner was sentenced to 110 years after flawed evidence and withheld forensic facts sealed his fate. After 27 years behind bars, he emerged free - and rebuilt a life of purpose, advocacy, and love. This is a story of truth, endurance, and transformation.
