When a person is incarcerated, their family often serves a silent sentence alongside them. PEP’s Family Program exists to bridge that divide. We walk alongside participants and their loved ones as they work toward healing, trust, and meaningful reconnection.
We believe that a stable, supported family is one of the most powerful predictors of long-term success after incarceration.
Through a secure, invitation-only website, our Family Liaisons support communication, understanding, and goal-setting between participants and their families.
I have seen such a positive change in my brother’s attitude. He told me that he had never graduated anything and that this 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’ve 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 looks to me for advice and constructive feedback … and PEP has been the glue that has made it stick.
