The program, born from a deliberate partnership to preserve family bonds across the walls of detention, asks a question that correctional systems rarely pause to consider: what is lost when a parent disappears, and what might be saved if we refuse to let that disappearance be total?

Limited direct consumer impact. Indirectly, programs maintaining family bonds may reduce long-term social costs by lowering recidivism rates and reducing demand for future incarceration, potentially benefiting taxpayers through lower criminal justice expenditures.
