Reconciliation

Our vision is reconciling husband to wife, parent to child, sister to brother, offender to community. Reconciliation recognizes that the families of the incarcerated are forgotten victims of crime. Innocent of any wrong-doing, they often are blamed and ostracized by friends and the community. Through individual and family support, assistance and advocacy, Reconciliation creates an environment where families can support one another in order to meet their basic physical, emotional, and spiritual needs; strengthen and maintain family bonds throughout the crisis of incarceration; and aid in readjustment upon release of loved ones, thereby reducing recidivism and making a safer community for everyone.
