Parenting From Prison

Parenting from Prison is the untold story of Charles Brown, JR who is currently incarcerated in his 39th year of a life sentence at Angola State Penitentiary’s Camp D where he works at inmate counsel. Dominque, his only daughter, created parenting from prison to provide cultural competency training on the impact of mass incarceration on young black girls and the challenges they face growing up with a parent in prison. Parenting from Prison (PP)  is an initiative that works to educate stakeholders, teachers, prisons or any institutions who provide services to children directly impacted by incarceration with essential tools to promote effective change.

 

Children with incarcerated parents are different. We are bold, unique and courageous. To love someone beyond prison walls is to love someone unconditionally.
