Families of the Incarcerated works to support families of inmates through giving them support and resources that might not otherwise be available. We work to provide families with free trips to visit their loved ones in jail, resources to find different types of assistance, and numerous other programs. The inmates we work with are provided with programs that emphasize reconciliation, rehabilitation, and reflection. We also provide the inmates continue their relationships with their family members through the resources we provide to them and the family trips.
