Ronald Marshall

A proud husband, father, and grandfather, RONALD MARSHALL is a New Orleans native committed to social justice and public service. Despite being incarcerated in Louisiana’s prison system, Marshall has advanced his studies and continues to explore his interests. He earned a paralegal certificate from Blackstone Career Institute, is the co-founder of two nonprofit organizations (focused on public awareness and job development), serves as a senior mentor in the prison’s mentorship program, and volunteers for a hospice program that helps terminally ill men. Marshall is also an author. His inaugural novel, August Rebellion, includes timely themes of mass incarceration and criminal injustice and gives a voice to a historically under-represented group of people.
