One frantic call from the local jail catapults an entire family on a frightening journey that no family would wish to travel. Their traumatic journey encounters endless frustration and infuriating madness from which there is no escape. Millions of Americans are traumatized by the mass incarceration in this country. The Unvarnished Truth about the Prison Family Journey is an exceptional resource for prison families, as well as those serving them in the fields of criminal justice, education, ministry and mental health care. The authors have over fifty years combined personal and professional experience with the criminal justice system. They weave graphic personal, legal and emotional perspectives into a rare and boldly honest look at the realities faced by prison families. They offer encouragement and hope for successfully navigating the journey. Click on the photo for information.

We are partnering with a Dane County project that will be offering art classes for the children of incarcerated parents. Cultural Connections inspires youth with an incarcerated parent to build self-empowerment and confidence. Their tools are creative academics and equitable access to cultural capital. The program will be held at the Boys and Girls Club in Madison, WI. We look forward to assisting with the promotion of this program.
