Friends and Family Resources
Having access to resources is critical for the friends and family members of incarcerated individuals as they navigate the challenges that come with having a loved one in prison. The incarceration of a friend or family member can be an overwhelming experience. Providing support through resources, such as information on visitation, financial support, rehabilitation programs, and mental health services, helps families better manage with the situation and stay connected with their loved one.
