After voluntarily turning himself in to the Ada County Jail in Boise, Idaho, with a felony arrest warrant on his head, Garrett Walker was labeled a fugitive from justice. With a plea bargain of time served and a few years’ probation, he was looking at six weeks in jail. But when the judge sentenced him to seven years in prison, his life was dramatically changed. This is the story of one man’s journey through the Idaho Department of Corrections rider program for first-time felons and how it changed his life forever.1
