From Prison to Ph.D. to Tenured Professor at Howard University. Stanley Andrisse, who was once incarcerated in a maximum security prison, now serves as a tenured professor at Howard University and founder of From Prison Cells to Ph.D., a nonprofit helping justice-impacted people succeed in higher education. His path shows how loss pushed him toward science, how education opened unlikely doors, and how he now helps others rebuild their lives through second chances. He grew up in Ferguson, Missouri, where people labeled him a career criminal before he turned 21. Those early years shaped how he mentors students today.
