Prison Family

What’s it like to find out that someone you love has committed a crime, has hurt someone? Not top of mind thinking for most people, unless you are a prison family member. If you are, those thoughts intrude on pretty much every waking moment. People that we love have harmed someone else. That hurts. They have also harmed us, emotionally, financially, sometimes physically. This series explores the impacts of incarceration on secondary victims - family members - who are innocent of any crime but are often victimized by the system that exists to punish the crime they didn’t commit. Here you will meet family members of incarcerated people and subject matter experts who are rock stars in the criminal justice world.
