Hey, FAMMily! 

Numbers often tell a story that policymakers cannot ignore. Under the CARES Act, more than 13,000 people transitioned from prison cells to their own spare bedrooms and kitchen tables. The result was a recidivism rate of less than 1%. In your experience as a family member, which of the following is the most significant benefit of home confinement for a loved one’s successful reentry into the community? 

Your insight helps us move beyond abstract statistics. When we speak to lawmakers, we want to describe the tangible impact of a paycheck, a stable home, and taking steps toward a healed family. 

If your loved one has been released to home confinement, please share your experience here: https://act.famm.org/a/share-your-experience. 

Every story you provide adds a layer of evidence to the case for keeping families together. 

With hope and determination,
