After spending spent 21 years and seven months in prison, Sean now works for a non-profit company in Boston.

After his release, family and friends and his legal team rallied to help him re-adjust to civilian life.
"A kind official at his mother's church provided him housing for the first three years, while he got his bearings. […] After initial stints on a demolition crew, he was hired by Community Servings, a Boston non-profit agency that prepares and delivers medically appropriate meals to ill and elderly home-bound residents."
