More than 15,000 children in Miami have a parent in prison or jail. The incarceration of parents has severe, unseen consequences for children who are often left confused and uncertain about their future. Our network of faith-based and professional organizations coordinates services to strengthen the bond between children and their imprisoned parents and mitigate the trauma caused by the separation.
