IN THIS ISSUE

IN LOVING MEMORY • DR. GEORGIA K. WALKER

Honoring Georgia’s Memory

Our work at Journey to New Life continues even as we mourn the loss of our friend, co-founder and Executive Director, Dr. Georgia K. Walker (1947-2022). Her presence is missed by all who had the honor of working with — and alongside — her. She brought something truly special to her role and to Journey to New Life.

We hope you enjoy this small glimpse into Georgia’s life over the years.

The Journey to Pardon Continues

You may remember in our Winter 2020 issue we featured Laquanda “Faye” Jacobs. In 1992, at the tender age of 16, Faye was arrested and subsequently convicted of murder. At her sentencing, Faye became the first and only female in Arkansas sentenced as a juvenile to life in prison without parole, a sentence that was later found to be unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. As a result, in 2018, Faye was resentenced to time served, released from prison and entered the Journey to New Life program. But four years earlier, she had attracted the attention of the Midwest Innocence Project who examined Faye’s case and felt there was enough evidence and inconsistencies to exonerate her.
