Alphonso James

The UnFragile Alphonso James

Alphonso James was a 17-year-old child when he was arrested and falsely convicted of 1st Degree Intentional Homicide for the murder of a man he’d never seen or met. After a brief two-day trial, he was sentenced to Life plus 5 years in prison. Alphonso’s final words to the Judge and Jury before being shackled and taken into custody were “I didn’t do it.” Although he was physically confined, Alphonso found freedom and liberation within himself. With tireless persistence, and the work of the Wisconsin Innocence Project, Alphonso was finally freed in 2017 after 32 years of confinement for a crime he did not commit. Today, Alphonso is committed to inspiring others to break free of the prisons within themselves and pursue their own journey of healing, love and forgiveness.  He is a motivational speaker, an author, and a powerful person working and walking in love and forgiveness.
