WE ARE FAMILY. WE BRIDGE THE GAPS.

 The Prison Policy Initiative reports that the number of people in state prison almost exactly mirrors the number of affected minor children. Research indicates that children of incarcerated parents face formidable cognitive and health-related challenges throughout their development.

Georgia, in particular, faces the pressing reality of high incarceration rates, with a significant number of individuals behind bars. Among them are parents, whose absence leaves a profound impact on their children and families. Let's strive for solutions that support both those incarcerated and the loved ones they leave behind.
Currently, 59% of people in Georgia jails have not been convicted of a crime, meaning they are legally innocent.

Despite extensive research showing that visits and maintaining family ties are among the best ways to reduce recidivism, most incarcerated individuals are imprisoned more than 100 miles from their families. 

The rising incarceration rates in the United States present a complex challenge, affecting individuals, families, and communities nationwide. With over 2 million people currently incarcerated, understanding and addressing this issue is essential for a brighter future.
