Welcome!
Families Free serves, researches, and advocates for children, individuals, and families impacted by incarceration!
In the U.S. today, about 1 in every 100 residents are behind bars. Over 2 million children have a parent in prison or jail, and disturbing trends suggest that many of these children may follow their parent's footsteps. Families Free seeks to provide a solution at the community level!

Would you like to be a mentor to a woman reentering her community and family?
Families Free has a mission for you! Families Free is looking for some women in this community that would be invested in building relationship with some very precious women in our Community Return program. We're working with 10 women who will leave prison over the next few months. These women truly want a mentor to be there to help them navigate the rough waters of coming back into the community and their families once they get out. They have demonstrated a desire and effort to change. We're looking for a "few good women" who would be willing to walk alongside them in relationship, to be encouragers, reminders, friends, and healthy influences in their lives. Contact Melissa at melissa@familiesfree.com if you are interested!
