Aranjuez Prison in Spain

Spain's Aranjuez Prison lets parents and children stay with their incarcerated family members. With Disney characters on the walls, a nursery, and a playground, the goal is to prevent kids from realizing, as long as possible, that a parent is behind bars Addressing the way that correctional facilities rip families apart, this innovative institution provides for infant children to live their first years with their incarcerated parents. Equipped with cribs, Disney characters on the walls, and a kids' play area, Aranjuez gives incarcerated parents a chance to experience parenthood despite circumstances, and a parent to those too young to comprehend the reality of being imprisoned.

Sandie Blanton

It is with deep sadness to inform our readers that one of the most amazing, courageous and wonderful, activists, Sandie Blanton, passed away suddenly on the 11th December 2013.
Many of our supporters here at Prisoners Families Voices truly admired Sandies work and to say she will be sadly missed is an understatement.
I remember messaging Sandie about writing to someone on Texas death row because I hadn't got a clue what was what. Nothing was too much trouble for Sandie and she guided me through the do's, don'ts, if's, buts, and you name it. I followed Sandie's work and wondered how on earth she managed to do what she did, but she was a real trooper with a solid mind and remarkable spirit. I'm not normally the religious type, but God most definitely made the right decision when he blessed Sandie with the special motivation and gift to support prisoners on death row and boy she didn't let him down either. What we must remember is that all God's Angels co…

Demoralising activities in prison - From Katie H

Imagine my shock when I received a letter from an inmate with a 'colouring in' page attached to it.
The 'colouring in' page was from a guy in his 40's, of sound mind, and educated. I was absolutely appalled that given prison's are so called reforming, this grown man was subjected to nursery activities! How demoralising! I can and will send in the original drawing with proof to your email as long as the person's identity is protected because I would not want to cause any embarrassment to him.

Katie H

Prison Widow UK reply - Hi Katie. It wouldn't be the first time that we have received stories of this nature. In fact, I could publish something myself which was sent to me not long ago on pretty much the same lines.

3 Rules to Live By If You Have an Addicted Spouse By Caitlin Thiede

With the addiction epidemic on the rise, many husbands and wives are finding themselves with significant others who have addictions. Some of them may have had clues that their spouses had ongoing addiction issues and were determined to help them recover. Others may have spouses whose addictions developed during marriage. Nonetheless, these situations lure the non-addicted spouses to a special kind of opiate—an overbearing amount of hope. Can You Love Your Spouse to Recovery? Meet “Melissa,” a certified peer specialist for people struggling with addiction and a former wife of an addict. For many years, she comforted people at work and came home to a husband—a supposed recovered addict—who hid an ongoing addiction. Melissa said on his best days, her then-husband "said the right things and did all the right things.” Even with her professional experience, it took some time to realize that he had returned to using. “If he would be tempted to use money for drugs, he would give it ba…
