Episode #17 (Pt. 2): Joei Jordan, #954719, Muskegon Correctional Facility, LIFE
“Find YOU in every struggle”
In the follow-up episode, the dialogue deepens as Joei and I explore what productivity means for someone serving a life sentence. We discuss critical legislation impacting him and thousands of others in Michigan, including the Second Look and Productivity Credits initiatives. The conversation emphasizes the importance of self-directed rehabilitation, the value of peer-led programs within prison, and I introduce the innovative concept of “full term programming.” Together, they reflect on the challenges and opportunities for personal growth in an environment often seen as limiting, providing a powerful perspective on resilience and hope.
