Description

While parenting can be challenging, can you imagine what it’s like doing so from behind bars?  Even so, maintaining the parent-child relationship is critical to reducing the harm to children of having an incarcerated parent.  We span the professional and personal of this subject, first with investigative journalist Ludwig Hurtado on the rise of reading-aloud programs at jails and prisons nationally.  Then, Greg Williams and his daughter Melissa share their personal story of being separated by bars while reading and being read to, and how these programs shaped their relationship.
