The Mission of Local Attorney to Reshape the Broken Criminal Justice System
PITTSBURGH - WisconsinEagle -- Pittsburgh Criminal Defense and Personal Injury Attorney Frank C. Walker II of Frank Walker Law, widely recognized for his legal acumen and advocacy on behalf of individuals navigating the criminal legal system, has reached a new professional milestone by recently earning his Ph.D. in Instructional Management and Leadership from Robert Morris University following the successful defense of his dissertation, "Reversing Course: Gauging Perceptions of Stakeholders in the Criminal Justice System Towards Reform to Decrease Mass Incarceration."
A graduate of West Virginia State College, Marshall University and West Virginia University College of Law, Attorney Walker's achievement not only reflects academic excellence but also a designed commitment to improving legal systems and advancing fair, data-driven Criminal Justice Reform. Attorney Walker's research explored how stakeholders inside the criminal justice system—judges, prosecutors, law enforcement, defense attorneys, and probation officers—responded to empirical evidence on incarceration trends and decision-making patterns. The study reasoned that greater exposure to reliable data concerning mass incarceration could prompt meaningful shifts in how stakeholders perceive their influence and accountability within the broader justice system.

The Local Crisis: In Allegheny County, criminal justice disparities persist at every level:
- The average daily jail population continues to exceed capacity benchmarks, with many individuals incarcerated pretrial simply due to inability to afford bail—not because they pose a safety risk.
- Technical probation violations, not new criminal conduct, account for a substantial share of jail admissions.
- A 2023 independent audit noted significant delays in case processing, inconsistent diversion practices, and overreliance on incarceration for non-violent offenses.
- Community-level outcomes reveal uneven access to legal representation, treatment options, and rehabilitative programming, especially for youth and first-time offenders.
- The overuse of the Allegheny County jail takes an especially heavy toll on people of color. Despite making up only 13% of the local population, Black people make up 67% of the jail population as of June 2021.
- In addition, roughly 75% of the jail population has been identified as having a mental health issue or substance use disorder. Those with a history of behavioral health issues spend an average of 14 days longer in jail than those without that background.
