Keep Rebuilding Families in Monroe County

A growing body of research suggests that one of the most pernicious effects of high adult- incarceration rates can be seen in the struggles of children who often lose a crucial source of motivation and support with their parents behind bars. This is far too common today.

NYSLC's Rebuilding Families is for those of us in Monroe Correctional Facility who are parents.  It gives us a reason to make dreams for ourselves while we are incarcerated. It is easy to do nothing in here if you want to. With Rebuilding Families we are trying to make new lives with our children. We want to change our lives with our children.
