From living in a Thai Prison cell for 7 years, to becoming an inspirational guiding advocate for those incarcerated, Holly's story isn't just about survival, it's about transformation, healing and giving back.
Over 25 years ago, Holly Wallace was facing a death sentence on he**in trafficking in Thailand, terrified of her future.
Today she works at Wungening, connecting some of WA's most vulnerable prisoners with the practical and emotional tools needed to successfully reintegrate back into society through our ReSet programs.
Holly shares her story of drugs, darkness and survival to inspire others to turn their lives around through her work and advocacy.
Her lived experience makes connecting with inmates easier, they quickly realise that her story makes her a compassionate guide to reintegrating into society. Holly says she is proud to see her investments paying off, and feels very much at peace now working within WA's prison system helping people learn from her past mistakes.
