Walk of Faith, a Clemency Case: Emmanuel Herron

By the age of 19, Emmanuel "Manny" Herron entered the federal prison system. Still a teenager, he faced a sentence of 180 months (15 years) in prison. Manny describes his life prior to prison being one of poverty, grief, and anger; a life where he felt lost.
Upon entering the federal system, Herron was dyslexic and had not learned to read. Finding his faith while incarcerated was the catalyst for his life to truly change course. Herron's petition for clemency was granted in 2016 by President Obama. Exiting the prison system, Herron was a man filled with knowledge, faith, and a fire within his heart to give back to the community he "poisoned" in his prior lifestyle. Although Herron has found tremendous success in the Topeka community, his greatest has been finding his wife and family. Herron's story is one you must hear for yourself, because only his own words do it justice.
