ANDRE J. NORMAN

André's life is a story of the seemingly impossible, the remarkable, and the unbelievable. Born into a large inner-city family that struggled to stay above the poverty line, André was the child who got lost in the shuffle. As a result, he was neglected and forced to raise himself in a hostile environment. With little supervision or attention, André suffered from illiteracy until he was nearly ten. With the help of his 3rd grade teacher, Miss Oliver, he learned how to read, and so finally got out from under the brutal teasing he endured at the hands of neighbors and even his own family.

Without guidance and structure, André began his slow descent into the netherworld of crime, starting with shoplifting, then dealing drugs and escalating to armed robbery and assault, all while still in high school. One ray of light was his selection as his inner-city high school's first exchange student, visiting London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam. However, this new world was not enough to stop André from the path that he was already on. André's crimes led him to the Massachusetts Department of Corrections and the Federal Bureau of Prisons for an 18-25 year term. While incarcerated, other charges --including attempted murder --were added to his resume.

In the early-1990s, André made a fateful decision that he would leave prison, attend Harvard University, and work with youth. This contributed to his radical transformation from one of the worst inmates to one of the system's best. André's work with youth began during this time, as a result of prison programs that brought them to the institution. His transformation took a spiritual turn in the late 1990s when an Orthodox Jewish rabbi befriended and mentored him. His journey continued in the spring of 1999 as a result of an encounter with the Roman Catholic Church's Cursillo program. As a result, André became a Christian. Two Roman Catholic nuns became additional mentors.

On November 15, 1999, André left prison focused on staying in Christ and fulfilling his two goals of attending college (at Harvard University) and helping youth. He is studying at Boston College on track for Harvard and has continued to work with young people around the country. Although he became involved in a Protestant church, André has maintained his strong links with his Catholic and Jewish communities.

Since his release, Andre has dedicated his life to using his story of triumph over tragedy to reach those in need, whether they are behind bars or sitting in board rooms of Fortune 500 corporations. For nearly five years, André has worked with and consulted for various organizations incorporating social, interpersonal and analytical skills into his work. André has developed innovative programs for high-risk youth, adults, and corporate executives, done street outreach and mentored ex-offenders, inner-city and suburban high school students. His program development skills and dynamic speaking abilities have been recognized by academics, elected officials, and other institutions in cities such as Boston, Washington DC, Atlanta, Los Angeles, London and elsewhere. André has worked with former Attorney General Janet Reno and Washington DC, Mayor Anthony Williams. He has been profiled in the Boston Herald, National Public Radio and various news media. His lectures have taken him to Harvard Divinity School, MIT, Northeastern University School of Criminal Justice, public schools in Compton, CA, Atlanta, GA, Boston Ma, Brooklyn New York, Cohasset, MA and many more schools, adult prisons, youth detention centers as well corporate training programs through London Business School.

He is currently revising his autobiography, Footprints. André's message of hope, transformation, and how to turn obstacles into opportunities have inspired countless individuals to think differently about their lives and purpose.

He became the facility STG coordinator in March 2001. He began to identify the different gangs and security threat groups within the facility. After a short period of time, he realized the STG issue within the facility was too large for one person. The Idaho Correctional Center Gang Task Force was started. The Task Force started to identify and log the STG members within the facility. In the 4-½ years that James was at the Idaho Correctional Center, he expanded his training. He became a member with several gang investigator organizations.

James helped identify 21 major players within the gangs. He then helped orchestrate a facility wide crackdown on these gangs and activities. On July 8 at midnight, The Correctional Emergency Response Team was activated. They, along with several staff members from South Idaho Correctional Institution, removed these 21 gang leaders and relocated them to higher security facilities. In April 200,6 he was promoted to Sergeant at the Idaho State Correctional Institution. He now works in the investigation office and is currently the STG coordinator for the facility.
