Pure Justice

Meet RoShawn Evans, co-founder of an organization known as Pure
Justice. Mr. Evans helped spark the idea of creating Pure Justice
based on his own experience, after being falsely accused of a
crime and sent to prison.


RoShawn wrote two books about his experience: Stolen Identity and
The Domino Effect. The book Stolen Identity explores how African
American males who become victims of the school-to-prison
pipeline even when they have not committed a crime, are faced
with a continued stigma that leads to recidivism for rightfully
and wrongfully convicted felons. The book also explores how such
a stigma leads to an overall deterioration of human dignity due
to laws that foster a continuation of societal punishment well
beyond prison.


Roshawn currently serves as the Organizing Director, Inmate
Liaison, and Community Outreach Coordinator for Pure Justice.
When he’s not engaged in community activism in the fight against
criminal and social injustices, he conducts research for his
pending books as he studies to complete his Bachelor’s of Arts
degree in Political Science. He intends to go on to law school.
