An ex prisoner mother and her son.New America Media presents portraits of parents returning home from incarceration through the eyes of their children.
Join us for a video screening and panel discussion to explore the important role children play in successful reentry and the challenges they face as they work out relationships with the returning parent.
As thousands of prisoners are released under Gov. Brown’s realignment program, the people who were most impacted by their incarceration – their children – must now face another challenge: their parents’ return. Their stories of hope, disappointment, love and reconciliation are key to understanding what it will take to realize the promise of realignment: prisoners who come home to their families for good.
Friday, Nov. 1, 2013, at 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. (Lunch will be provided). At the World Affairs Council, 312 Sutter St., Suite 200, San Francisco.
