Facilitating Support Networks

Family Advocacy

Family Bridges Program

We understand the importance of maintaining strong connections between incarcerated individuals and their families. We offer financial assistance programs to alleviate the financial burden of prison visits and communication. By facilitating meaningful visitation experiences, we strive to reinforce family bonds and strengthen community ties.  Our Family Bridges Program provides transportation funds, support during visits, assistance with the financial burden of costs with phone and email communication, and access to resources and information on reentry programs and services, reducing the negative impact of incarceration on families and ultimately lowering misconduct violations and recidivism rates in Missouri. 

Family Meetings

Our Family Meetings offer a supportive environment where families can come together monthly to share experiences, voice concerns, and receive practical guidance. These meetings provide valuable insights into navigating the correctional system, connecting with resources, and managing the emotional and logistical aspects of incarceration. By fostering a sense of community and providing direct support, our Family Meetings help families stay informed, feel empowered, and strengthen their ability to cope with the complexities of having a loved one in prison.
