I describe the reasons for my arrest and my time in detention, where I discovered that I was pregnat. The article is, however, mainly about the impact my criminal record has had on my life and my employment opportunities in particular. Acquiring a serious criminal conviction seriously damaged my opportunities to secure employment suite to my skills and capabilities.
