When a person is incarcerated, their family often serves a silent sentence alongside them. PEP\u2019s Family Program exists to bridge that divide. We walk alongside participants and their loved ones as they work toward healing, trust, and meaningful reconnection.<\/p>

We believe that a stable, supported family is one of the most powerful predictors of long-term success after incarceration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    \n\t\t\t\tI have seen such a positive change in my brother\u2019s attitude. He told me that he had never graduated anything and that\nthis was the biggest accomplishment of his life. He has gone from doubting himself to having confidence in his abilities.

    It means the world to me to see him succeed at his endeavors. David being able to complete PEP has really reinforced my hope in him. This is the first time I\u2019ve seen him say he was going to do something and actually follow through with it.

    I had not spoken to David in 10 years and when I found out he was in prison it broke my heart. But his willingness to change and become a better man, has changed my attitude about him. We now talk regularly and actually have a relationship, which is something that we have never had. He\nlooks to me for advice and constructive feedback \u2026 and PEP has been the glue that has made it stick.
