Bruce Bryan

I was sentenced to 37 1/2 years to life for a murder that I did not commit. I received executive clemency on December 21, 2022, after serving 28 1/2 years and I continue to pursue my exoneration. I was granted parole and released on April 24, 2023. Since my release, I've been employed as a Criminal Legal Reform Advocate & Mentor at the Perlmutter Center for Legal Justice at Cardozo Law School, and now I am a Senior Client Advocate at Queens Defenders. I also volunteer at the nonprofit Children of Promise, NYC. I've appeared on the Joe Rogan show, on a panel for 100% Human at Work & Virgin Unite, and at several other speaking engagements surrounding criminal legal reform. At these events, I've discussed the importance of corporate America removing barriers which prevent formerly incarcerated people from gaining meaningful employment.
