Conversation with Darnell Washington and his Attorney
November 9, 2023 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Former San Quentin inmate, Darnell Washington, will give a talk about his life including how he turned his life around in prison and his new non-profit that he started upon his sentence of being commuted. He gave a TedTalk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgPrf3YyByI&ab_channel=TEDxTalks), please see details below:
Once Darnell entered prison he decided to turn his life around. He chose to walk away from a destructive lifestyle that was full of hurt, pain, and loss. In order to address his internal issues, Darnell would get involved with every self-help group that he could.
While at San Quentin he would be drawn to the Restorative Justice Roundtable, largely because it dealt with the healing of victims, offenders, and their respective communities. He would also become interested in the social justice program The San Quentin Alliance for C.H.A.N.G.E., which teaches participants how different forms of justice can be applied to building a healthy and self-sustaining community. Darnell has become a leader and facilitator in both groups. His goal is to use his newly acquired knowledge to become a community activist and Motivational Speaker who educates and brings healing to the community.
