I'm on a team of humanity.
What happens when a teenager is thrown into the adult criminal justice system? Jeff Wallace knows all too well. At just 17, he was tried as an adult and sentenced to 11 years behind bars. In this episode of 'The Story of Our Trauma', Dr. Shauna Springer sits down with Jeff to unpack his harrowing journey from incarceration to becoming an advocate for at-risk youth.
Jeff shares raw and gripping stories of the violence he faced in prison and the monumental task of readjusting to life on the outside. His experiences didn't just end with his release; they fueled his mission to study and reform the criminal justice system's impact on young people. Jeff's candid discussion covers everything from racial inequalities in prison to the power of collaboration and resilience.
He offers a unique perspective on how pre-existing trauma shaped his identity and his approach to overcoming adversity. If you're interested in hearing about real-life struggles and triumphs, this episode is a must-listen. Jeff's story is not just inspiring; it's a testament to the human spirit's ability to rise above even the darkest circumstances.
