“Using my past traumatic experience, I lend tools of healing to the young men of color in my community. I provide meaningful support by meeting these youth where they’re at both emotionally and in life, and sharing my experience of when I was in their place. For many of these young men, it is the first time they have had this kind of support from an adult who truly understands the complexity of their lives and who truly believes in their potential.”

While he was imprisoned, Jeremiah committed himself to higher education notwithstanding a sentence that meant he would die behind bars. Through independent means, he earned a bachelor’s degree in legal studies and criminology, graduating magna cum laude. He also utilized his education to tutor prisoners working to earn their GEDs and became an advisor to the University Beyond Bars, a non-profit that enables prisoners to obtain a college education at Washington State Reformatory. Upon graduating from Gonzaga University School of Law, he will use his law degree to help those he left behind in prison.
In 2019 as a result of a U.S. Supreme Court decision that deemed his sentence to be a cruel and unusual punishment. Since then he has consulted with lawmakers and academics, lectured to law students and undergraduates, and presented to corporate law offices to further their understanding of the criminal legal system and advocate for change, reform and healing with the legal system.
