Children who have with a parent in jail, prison or awaiting sentencing are often among the most vulnerable in our community. Not only have these children experienced the loss of a parent through incarceration, they experience disruption in their living situation and they worry about their parent. MUM’s Mentoring Connections, Family Connections and Reading Connections are all designed to support children during a parent’s incarceration. Jan Miyasaki interviews Anne Habel, a volunteer with Family Connections/Reading Connections about opportunities that this organization offers to bring families closer together.
