I was gang affiliated at a very young age and only made it to the 11th grade. Shortly after being released from prison, I was introduced to CeaseFire. Now my plans are to go back to school for accounting and open a halfway house for guys who were formerly incarcerated.

Bernard JedkinsI became gang affiliated at 14 and dropped
out of school. I spent most of my time selling drugs and gang banging. After four years in
prison, I got a job with CeaseFire. Today, I’m a music producer with my own state-of-the-
art recording studio. Although I have various things I’m involved in, I’m still dedicated to
being a Violence Interrupter.
