Noel has been incarcerated his entire adult life and has now served 18 years on a 25-year sentence. He was 18 years old when he committed his crime. He has spent the majority of his time involved in education. He has helped and tutored countless other students and has also earned multiple college degrees over the years. He plans to link up with the criminal justice reform movement when he goes home, hoping to share lessons from his lived experience and contribute to the important work that will allow him to assist with changes to our system that those still incarcerated will benefit from.
