First Arrest at 11 and Five Years in Juvenile
At 16:26 · chapter starts 15:00
On June 30, 1990, just days after his 11th birthday, Wallo was arrested for snatching jewelry — and then arrested again the following week. He was sent to St. Michael's School for Boys, a Catholic juvenile facility with three meals a day, sports, and a campus feel. He liked it. He also never stopped stealing, including on supervised mall trips. The pattern locked in: go home, mess up, go back. By the time he was 17, he had spent five years inside juvenile facilities, his entire adolescence consumed by a revolving door between street and institution. His mother was disappointed but powerless; his brother Steve was in the streets; his stepfather was still in prison. There was no anchor pulling him out, and no consequence severe enough to break the cycle — yet.
