Stephen White

I was born and raised in Chicago. I attended Julian High School and dropped out to pursue at “street” lifestyle. As a result, I was incarcerated for four years. After my incarceration I joined CeaseFire as a Violence Interrupter. Since 2005 I’ve participated in mediating over 20 conflicts in the Woodlawn Community. -- Stephan White

Bernard Baltimore

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.
