Stanley Andrisse MBA PhD

​My name is Stanley Andrisse. I am a formerly incarcerated person with 3 felony convictions, sentenced to 10 years in prison as a prior and persistent career criminal. I was once told by a prosecuting attorney that I had NO hope for change. I am now, Dr. Stanley Andrisse, endocrinologist scientist and professor at Howard University College of Medicine, former faculty at Johns Hopkins Medicine and affiliate at Georgetown Medical Center. I’d say that I may have changed just a little bit Growing up in the Ferguson, MO area, I got involved with making poor decisions at a very young age. I started selling drugs at a very young age. I was arrested for the first time at 14 years old. By my early 20’s, those poor decisions had exponentially multiplied, and I found myself sitting in front of a judge facing 20 years to life for drug trafficking charges. The prosecutor painted this picture of me as this dangerous career criminal. By this time, I had amassed a juvenile record and 3 felony convictions. She was successful in sentencing me as a prior and persistent career criminal. As a professor, I work with college scholars 25-30 year plus training to be doctors. It takes 16+ years of higher education before we call them career professionals. Yet, this prosecutor prophesized that I was a career criminal with NO HOPE for change. The judge sentenced me to 10 years in a maximum-security prison. Learn more about my journey - From Prison Cells to PhD - by visiting my website and reading my book and many articles.
