Huffington Post Crime published an opinion piece written by Shon Hopwood today. The article titled, Giving Prisoners a Second Chance Means Removing the Barriers to Reentry, highlights the horrific statistics of recidivism in the United States and the resulting burden on taxpayers. Shon points out the state and federal policies that exacerbate the problem and “undermine our nation’s commitment to providing people with a fresh start to rebuild their lives and become productive members of society.” Read the full article here.
Shon and Ann Marie Hopwood started their relationship through letters while Shon struggled in federal prison and Ann Marie struggled with anorexia. Their story is told in Law Man: My Story of Robbing Banks, Winning Supreme Court Cases, and Finding Redemption.
