JEFF WALLACE's MEDIA

Mr. Jeff Wallace is an advocate for Trauma Informed Care. Once a juvenile offender who went to prison he began working in the same facility that he once escaped after he was released after six years. In this talk he discusses the valuable lessons that he learned as a juvenile that spent years in solitary confinement. He then utilized Trauma Informed Care to create a significant change at that same facility that resulted in a 50% decline in physical restraints.

Jeff Wallace takes you through what happens when you treat a juvenile like an adult in this riveting personal story. Jeff has spent most of his life studying the effects of the policy and procedures followed by the criminal justice system on at-risk youth – first, as one of those youths and then, through his undergraduate and graduate degrees in Criminal Justice and currently working feverishly toward a Phd in Criminal Justice Administration.
