ANDREW HUNDLEY

Andrew is the co-founder of Louisiana Parole Project, helping men and women in Louisiana who, like him, were given extreme prison sentences. He carries many titles: non-profit organization leader, coalition member, mentor, advocate, and college graduate, but it was not that long ago when he carried the label “juvenile lifer.” In June 2016, Andrew became the first juvenile lifer in Louisiana to be paroled following the U.S. Supreme Court’s Miller/Montgomery rulings that prohibited the mandatory sentencing of children to life without parole— the Louisiana Committee on Parole recognizing that he was not the same 15-year-old that went to prison in 1997.
