Strong Prison Wives & Families, Inc. Details
There are currently 10 million prisoners in the world, each of which has an average of 3 supporters. Yet, there are limited resources and minimal support offered to those 30 million supporters; most commonly spouses and family members. The rate of recidivism in the U.S. remains steady at nearly 70%. Studies have consistently found that prisoners who maintain close contact with their family members while incarcerated have better post-release outcomes and lower recidivism rates. The programs within our Strong Prison Wives & Families network will help to effectively reduce the rate of recidivism by grooming a strong familial support system; providing advocacy, resources, education, mentoring and fellowship to each member throughout the duration of the prison sentence and well in advance of the inmate's release back into the community. In keeping with recommendations of the Charles Colson Task Force report [2016], we strive to help spouses and family members during the most critical time of the inmate's transition back into society. SPWF promotes healthy relationships and long term change on the outside. We believe this to be an integral part of the family reunification process. OUR MISSIONStrong Prison Wives & Families, Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We seek to enhance the lives of inmate supporters through programs designed to provide empowerment, education and support; qualities we believe are essential to breaking the cycle of recidivism. Our mentoring program provides opportunities for dedicated, well-trained mentors to work with women who are willing to receive their support and guidance. It is our mission to create a positive culture that inspires the personal growth and development of every woman participating in our program. SPWF mentors are personally committed to encouraging and assisting all of those persons within their circle of influence to follow their lead toward a more happy, healthy and productive way of life.
