Willie Smith

Written by Willie’s wife Andrea

Willie Smith has been incarcerated for 35 years on a 39yr 8 month to life sentence handed down at the age of 20. Now at the age of 55 Mr. Smith submitted his clemency petition in 2022 which is under review. During his time in prison he has obtained his associates degree and is working on his bachelor's, he is the president of the lifers and long terms organization at Shawangunk Correctional Facility. He has worked with at risk youth to prevent them for ending up in prison. He continues to work with his peers to encourage them to be their best they can be and learn to make better choices in life to never return to prison. He is ready to serve his community especially at risk youth however in order to make a direct positive impact on his community we humbly continue to ask that he be granted clemency.
