CLIFTON WHITE SPENT YEARS IN AND OUT OF PRISONS. EVENTUALLY BECOMING A "JAILHOUSE LAWYER," HUSBAND, FATHER AND FINALLY COMMUNITY LEADER.

CLIFTON'S LIFE STARTED IN THE NEW YORK CITY CARE SYSTEM IN THE MID-1980s.

AT THE AGE OF 11 CLIFTON WENT TO JUVENILE (DETENTION) FOR LARCENY AND WAS PLACED ON PROBATION FOR RIDING A STOLEN BIKE.

FROM AGE 11 YEARS ODL TO 18 YEARS OLD CLIFTON'S STORY SHOWS HOW EVERY INSTRUMENT OF THIS SYSTEM WORKED AGAINST HIM TO KEEP HIM IN AN ENDLESS CYCLE OF INCARCERATION.

IN JUNE 2020 CLIFTON'S PARTICIPATION IN A BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTEST AND SUBSEQUENT POLICE ENCOUNTER LEAD TO UNJUST RETALIATION. HE WAS ARRESTED FOR AN ARBITRARY PAROLE VIOLATION AND PLACED IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT FOR FOURTEEN DAYS.

AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS OF COMMUNITY ACTIVIST AND SUPPORT FROM AROUND THE CITY, STATE, COUNTRY AND EVEN THE WORLD, CLIFTON WAS FINALLY RELEASED FROM PRISON ON OCTOBER 2020.

AFTER YEARS OF NAVIGATING THE COMPLEX CRIMINAL LEGAL SYSTEM AND FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF SUPPORT, CLIFTON BECAME A RESOURCE TO OTHER INCARCERATED PEOPLE. TODAY CLIFTON ADVOCATED FOR HIMSELF AND OTHERS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF PRISON WALLS.
