The Origins of Tell the Winning Story for Trial Attorneys: Breaking Down Walls Behind Bars

COLORADO SPRINGS / ACCESSWIRE / December 4, 2019 / What drives people to crime? Depending on the case, the answer may seem simple on the surface: poverty, revenge, greed, etc. But the simple answer typically only scans the surface, beneath which there are complex and challenging truths. Jesse Wilson, a communications expert specializing in trial advocacy, has spent years working with inmates to help them uncover their truths and re-write their story, transitioning from victim to protagonist and imprisonment to empowerment. This was the foundational work "the pivot point" that allowed him to transition into the role of a nationally sought after jury trial consultant.

In April, the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division released the findings of a long-awaited two-year federal investigation into the state of men's prisons in Alabama. The state's prisons are notorious for being overcrowded, understaffed hotbeds of abuse and violence. According to the Justice Department's report, "severe, systematic, and exacerbated" violations of prisoners' Eighth Amendment rights to be protected from cruel and unusual punishment are prevalent among the penitentiaries.

Although Alabama's is perhaps the worst of the nation's prison systems, many of the issues found there persist in facilities nationwide, including acts of violence among inmates and staff. And although the report is recent, the problem is nothing new.

Jesse Wilson was perceptive of the anger and pain prevalent in penitentiaries when he first graduated from The Juilliard School. Founder and CEO of Tell the Winning Story, the trial skills consultant made his first foray into the world of law and order by offering a theater program for prison inmates. The program was as educational as it was therapeutic, providing inmates with a safe outlet through which to explore and express their emotions, something some had not had much experience with previously. Through acting, inmates worked through challenges, including stress, pain, anger, and sadness. They learned teamwork, gained self-confidence, and realized the power they had to author the next chapter of their life story.

The experience affected the Jesse Wilson as much as his students and inspired the trial skills, consultant, to pursue a career in trial advocacy, coaching inmates and lawyers to communicate more effectively with one another and the judge and jury.

Jesse Wilson understands breaking down walls and exposing one's truths is no easy task. He said he admires the work his students do and applauds their willingness to rise to the challenge and grow.

"Without fear, there can be no courage," he said.
