Stories of Juvenile Offenders in Adult Prisons: What Are the Challenges They Face?

Being in adult prisons is really bad for the rehabilitation of juvenile offenders. Adult prisons are full of hardened criminals, and the juvenile offenders can be easily influenced by their bad behaviors. There are not enough programs in adult prisons to address the special needs of juveniles, like proper education for their age, and mental health support. Without these, it's very difficult for them to turn their lives around and become productive members of society in the future.

Additionally, there may be issues with the quality of food and living conditions. Poor nutrition and unhygienic living spaces can have a negative impact on the physical and mental well - being of the inmates. And often, there is a shortage of trained female staff, which can sometimes lead to a lack of understanding of the unique needs and concerns of female prisoners.

A major challenge is dealing with stress. They have to deal with the stress from work like meeting deadlines, handling difficult colleagues or bosses, and on top of that, the stress of taking care of their family. For instance, if a wife has an important project at work and at the same time her child is sick at home, she has to find a way to manage both situations. Moreover, in some workplaces, there may be a lack of flexibility in work hours which can be a hindrance for them to manage their personal and family life.

One major challenge is in education. For example, a TBI can affect memory and concentration, which makes it hard for kids to keep up in school. As they grow into adults, finding suitable employment can be tough. Many employers may not understand the limitations or potential of a TBI survivor.

Adult female teachers also face the challenge of keeping up with the ever - changing educational technology. New teaching tools and software are emerging all the time. They need to invest time in learning these new technologies to make their teaching more effective. For instance, using online platforms for distance learning or interactive whiteboards in the classroom requires continuous learning on their part.

Socially, they are shunned. In the story of the female teacher, she lost her job and was ostracized by the community. People were outraged and she became an outcast. Her reputation was completely ruined and she had to live with the stigma for the rest of her life.

One challenge is getting used to the feel. It can be quite strange at first. Some people might feel self - conscious about wearing it.
