Inmate Speaking Program

Chris Sandy

Convict with a Cause

In April of 2000, Chris Sandy was a normal 22-year-old kid. He had a good job, enjoyed playing basketball, fishing, and hanging out with his buddies.

That normal life came to an abrupt end on the evening of April 11th when Chris decided to go to a party, have four mixed drinks, and drive down a country road outside of Atlanta, GA.

Traveling at a speed of 77-miles-per-hour on a road that carries a 35-mile-per-hour speed limit, Chris Sandy's car crashed into an oncoming vehicle that was attempting to make a left turn into a residential driveway. The turning vehicle was literally cut in half by the force of the crash, killing the elderly couple inside.

Chris Sandy was found guilty on two counts of DUI - Vehicular Homicide and was sentenced to 13 years in a Georgia State Prison. Upon his release from prison, Chris will spend 17 years on probation.

Inmate Sandy travels across America to share his horrific story with schools, churches, military bases, and community organizations throughout the state. His presentations about impaired driving, the consequences of high-risk, unsafe choices, and life in prison are incredibly powerful.

This program has allowed Chris to share his lifesaving messages with more than 120,000 students to date.
