David Lee Windecher is a trailblazing orator, author and lawyer in the growing movement to end mass incarceration and correct racial inequity in American Juris Prudence. In his autobiography, The American Dream/HiSstory in the Making, David shares the harsh realities of growing up as an impoverished immigrant on the streets on Miami-Dade County. He was arrested 13 times and spent over 7 months incarcerated as a juvenile. He dropped out of high school and joined a gang for protection. His street name was Red. David endured the brutal climate of the lawlessness on the streets, by both criminals and the police. Simultaneously, he dreamed of become a lawyer and fighting for those who don’t have the resources to pay for justice. David began his path to self-rehabilitation when he received his GED in March of 1998 and took his first academic steps toward his childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. He graduated Summa Cum Laude from American Intercontinental University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida in 2005 and received his Juris Doctorate degree from John Marshall Law School in Atlanta, Georgia in 2012. He is licensed to practice law in Georgia and Florida. David’s transformation from defendant to defense attorney, boldly challenges our historical approaches to justice and exposes our deeply flawed ideas about criminality. His story compels us to acknowledge the loss of our humanity within the legal system. David founded Rehabilitation Enables Dreams (R.E.D.) in March of 2015 to help at risks youths referred to the criminal justice system escape the cycle of mass incarceration and legal oppression. RED’s restorative justice program helps youths reclaim their dignity and gain social mobility through alternative education, mentor support and community partnerships.
