Uniting children, families & communities

Our Mission

CRJW advocates, educates, and demonstrates the critical need for healthy relationships during incarceration between child-parent, families-loved ones, and the community as a whole inside and outside of prison.

Programs

Get On The Bus provides a special visiting day uniting children with their incarcerated parents at participating CA state prisons to spend a full day of activities and fun. 

Cross Over aims to unite women at the California Institution for Women (CIW) with community members for spiritual reflection in a nondenominational circle.

Transition4Success is a 6 month, paid, in person program at the CRJW main office for formerly incarcerated individuals to prepare for the workplace.

Children who maintain contact with their incarcerated parent are less likely to drop out of school and experience healthier mental development. The continued connection also has a positive impact on the parents, helping to prepare them to reunite with their family upon release.
