This handbook was designed to help family members understand more about the New York State correctional system when visiting an incarcerated family member.
This book was inspired by the 2.7 million minor children whose parent is in jail, prison, or a halfway house. Preparing for reunification by everyone involved is a necessity.
Coming Home from Prison | Impacts of Incarceration
"It's tough re-engaging with family and community members. They won't understand these weird fears you continue to balance of I'm out here but I don't know how to exist out here."
Chasing a Dream & Restorative Justice | Impacts of Incarceration
"People make horrible decisions and mistakes, sometimes simply surviving doing what they're taught, help them see who they are instead of being apart of this stigmatized population of people who are unredeemable."
Developed by the San Francisco Partnership for Children of Incarcerated Parents as a roadmap to safeguard children whose parents are involved in the criminal justice system
Join our #WordsMatter campaign to use humanizing language to refer to PEOPLE and PARENTS who are incarcerated or have come home, and replace "visitation" with "visits" or "visiting"
