Dear John,
If you've only got 30 seconds to spare, here's the gist:
According to the Prison Journalism Project, more than 92% of incarcerated
men are fathers. They face immense challenges — from being physically
separated from their loved ones to being financially unable to maintain a
relationship with their children. The impact of this separation doesn't
stop at the prison walls; it extends to the children left behind, who must
navigate life's challenges without their fathers' guidance. As we
celebrate Father's Day, we want to bring your attention to these often
overlooked parents. This Father’s Day, we encourage you to take a moment
to [ [link removed] ]read the stories of some of America’s incarcerated fathers in their
own words and reflect on their experiences and challenges.

If you’ve got 2 mins to spare, read this:
Father’s Day is a day filled with joyous celebrations, heartfelt
gratitude, and warm memories. But amidst the festivities, there's a group
of fathers who are often overlooked — those who are incarcerated.
Imagine being a father, yearning to guide, protect, and love your child,
but being separated by miles, walls, and barbed wire. Picture the
heartache of missing birthdays, first steps, graduations — milestones that
you can't get back. This is the reality for many incarcerated fathers, a
reality that is often hidden in the shadows.
This Father’s Day, we encourage you to take a moment to read the stories
of some of America’s incarcerated fathers in their own words and to
reflect on their experiences and challenges.

to be a part of their child's life. We're shedding light on the plight of
incarcerated fathers and asking for your support.
