Why I Became a Woman Offender: A Personal Story
Shannon Jordan talks about her life, how she came to be a woman offender and what she has experienced since.
Introduction: Why Did I Commit This Crime?
We are told that anyone who commits a crime is a criminal. But that is not always the case. In the United States, women commit about one-third of all crimes. This article will discuss why a woman, Shannon Jordan committed an armed robbery and how it is different from a man committing the same crime.
How Society Shamed Me for Committing this Crime
The idea of committing a crime is shameful in our society. It can affect your future, your relationships, and your life.
The shamefulness of crime is not just a social construct. It's also a psychological experience that can be as damaging as the crime itself.
|This is why it's so important to recognize and address the shamefulness of crimes committed by people who were previously incarcerated for these crimes or even just arrested for them.
Shannon had a rough transition after serving 10 years, she was forced to put up of the pieces and figure out how to navigate through life with the label as an ex-convict now following her at every turn with housing and employment being the hardest hurdles to jump over.
My Recovery Process From My Past Behavior Into Civilian Life & Why It's Important to Listen to Women Offenders
Shannon Jordan is a female offender who has been incarcerated for over 10 years. She has had the opportunity to see firsthand what happens to women in prison and how they are treated. It is important that we listen to women offenders because they are often marginalized and their voices go unheard.
