Walt’s experience through the criminal justice system not only taught him how to correct the injustice done to incarcerated people, but also give him in-depth knowledge on the mental health battles everyday people face.  As a speaker, Walt will share personal stories on how he was able to overcome the biggest battle of his life.

Being incarcerated taught Walt a lot. It was in prison that Walt found his purpose and started freeing people bondage. While working as a law clerk, Walt was able to correct the injustice done to several prisoners and help get them emergency released from prison. When Walt was able to get the first prisoner free, it changed his life forever. Now because of that single moment, he fights hard to protect, guide and advocate for justice.

Walt’s mission is to bring effect change to the school to prison pipeline, over sentencing, prison reform and unhealthy relationships.
