Letter from the Executive Director Our May issue comes out between Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Being a parent is hard. Being or having a parent within the justice system is …complicated. And the truth is, incarceration doesn’t just affect the person, it affects families. In this issue, we will discuss communicating with your child with humility, and how parenting classes can help. I’m also excited to publish two personal essays – one from one of our regular writers, and one from a participant of one of our programs. Additionally, we are including an excerpt from a previous article from one of our volunteers who grew up with a father who had been incarcerated. We hope you enjoy this issue. Sincerely, Porche Proffit
