Richard Wershe Jr 'White Boy Rick', once the youngest paid informant in FBI history, sensationally walked free in July after 32 years in prison. 

 

At the age of 14, he was taught to pedal drugs and was planted in one of the most notorious gangs in Detroit. But when dropped by the FBI, the system that brought him into a life of crime refused to intervene as he was sentenced to a life behind bars on drug charges. 

 

Wershe, 51, has broken his silence for the first time since becoming a free man. 

 

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, he remarkably 'harbors no anger'. He revealed his plans to advocate for change in the system that 'treated him rough…chewed him up and spat him out'. 

 

'You tell me how it's right that I served 32 years for a non-violent crime and someone who has raped or killed walks free in a few years,' he said. But he added: 'I have more peace in my life now than I've ever had'. 

 

DailyMail.com has learned that Wershe has returned to Michigan to start building the life he never had a chance to start. He is also engaged to a woman he has known since high school.
