(As quoted from http://nationalreentryresourcecenter.org/topics/families) “The growth in the number of men and women incarcerated in the United States over the past 20 years has affected an extraordinary number of children and families. And for the men and women returning from prison and jail, family support can be a key factor in successful transition. Most people returning to the community go home to a social network of relatives and close friends. Many reentry initiatives recognize the importance of engaging families and their communities in the reentry process, and the need to address the affects of incarceration on people’s children and other loved ones.” I am curious to know what is working and what more can we do?
