Director of Reentry Services with Georgetown Prisons and Justice Initiative
After serving nearly 25 years in prison, Tyrone earned a certificate in business and entrepreneurship through the
Georgetown Pivot Program. His Pivot Program internship with the
Justice Policy Institute (JPI) led to a full-time position, in which he used his lived experience and subject matter expertise to effect policy changes. There, Tyrone spent two years advocating for
sentencing reform and managing JPI’s projects around D.C.’s Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act (IRAA) and Second Chance Amendment Act. As Director of Reentry Services with Georgetown Prisons and Justice Initiative, he supports students with their pre- and post-reentry needs. He believes that helping men and women while they are incarcerated is the most effective way to bridge the gap toward successful reentry. When he is not working, Tyrone is taking classes to earn his Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies.
