Journal of today’s activities:
My friend Jerron Jordan brought incredible value to the students who are enrolled in the class I lead as a lecturer at San Francisco State University. He’s truly a dynamic speaker. His real contribution was his authenticity. Jerron is a former street gang member who served several years in high security prisons. While confined, Jerron became a prison gang leader, deeply involved in the prison subculture. He told our class of how he stabbedA few years prior to his release, Jerron saw the light and reformed. His transformation began while he was locked inside of a segregated housing cell. Since his release a few years ago, Jerron has been instrumental in teaching others how to transform their lives. I am grateful to him for helping our students grasp more understanding about how our nation’s prison system operates. The students in our class will advance to careers in law enforcement. Guest speakers like Jerron Jordan provide invaluable information that will shape the way these future leaders contribute to better outcomes from our nation’s prison system.
