The Mayor of Graterford tells the story of Tyrone Werts, a former lifer at Graterford prison, who, as an inmate, became affectionately known as the “Mayor” of Graterford. Tyrone recounts the incident that lead to his incarceration and how he received a life without parole sentence for second-degree murder due to his indirect involvement in a murder. We followed Tyrone as he returned to Graterford to meet with his former fellow inmates.
