NAME: FAMILY/FRIENDS OF INCARCERATED (FFIncar)
NUMBER: 431
DESCRIPTION: As crime increases more and more prisons are being built
to house inmates who were previously allowed probation.
Estimates run as high as one out of every three persons
becoming involved with the penal system in some way
*other* than as inmate. Friends and family members,
wishing to be of support to the person going through
the criminal justice system, get caught up in its
procedures; they are thrown into the world of penology
by just VISITING, which can sometimes be mortifying,
embarrassing or cruel.
This will be a support conference to compare notes, to tell
of experiences (good or bad), to share the special
anxieties of this unique but increasingly common bond.
No one has to reveal who "their inmate" is, or the
relationship. That's not important here. And OUTING
(revealing who ANOTHER's inmate is) is completely
forbidden; this is nobody's business. What is important is
that each participant come away with the knowledge that
they are not alone in what they are experiencing.
