After being convicted and sentenced to life in prison in 1992 for killing a 36-year-old Taunton man, Tyrone Dixon has spent his time trying to save younger men who come into the prison from the same fate.
“I used to always tell them, ‘I’m in prison for killing somebody over 2 ounces of weed, and I’m never going home,‘” Dixon recalled during a parole board hearing on March 13. “This isn’t the life that you want to live when you go home. I want you to be a success story and not be like me.”
