"Made my kids very happy to see Daddy read to them."

Personal Gain

"It let me read a book and send to my son. Also it shows me that some people still care how inmates feel about their families and that's what counts. It made me feel good."

Caregive Feedback

"Well it's been a long time since they saw their father so they loved the tape and the book made them laugh."


"This was such a sweet, thoughtful gift and surprise to all our family. I never saw this kind of program. This is very encouraging coming out of a jail. Good job everyone."
