Loved Ones Link: Helping Families in NY Visit Incarcerated Loved Ones
About this episode
The episode discusses the Loved Ones Link program that helps families visit incarcerated loved ones in New York State prisons.
When someone is incarcerated, they’re not the only ones impacted. Incarceration is tough on families both emotionally and financially. Loved Ones Link is a free bus program that helps families visit incarcerated loved ones in New York State prisons. Operated by Osborne Association , in partnership with The New York State Department of Corrections, the program provides free transportation from Brooklyn and the Bronx to upstate facilities in an effort to ease the emotional and financial burden on families, and lower recidivism rates. Our guests are OA Chief Program Officer Michelle Howard and Children, Youth & Family Services Director Tiffany Myrick. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
