For nearly three decades, FAMM has united the voices of affected families, the formerly incarcerated, and a range of stakeholders and advocates to fight for a more fair and effective justice system. FAMM’s focus on ending a one-size-fits-all punishment structure has led to reforms to sentencing and prison policies at the state and federal level and is paving the way to programs that support rehabilitation for the 94% of all prisoners who will return to our neighborhoods one day.

I just wanted to thank you for speaking about what it's like to have a parent in jail. I hope your are able to go to medical school and become a doctor.

My son’s father went to prison when I was 7months pregnant. My son is 25 now. His dad is still locked up… so sad for the children
