The Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections, with the help of many organizations, creates handbooks to offer advice on navigating the difficulties associated with having a friend or family member who is incarcerated.
Incarceration is difficult for people in prison and also for their families and friends. View the Informational Handbook for Friends & Families of People in Prison, created by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections, for basic information that affects you and your loved one.
The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections worked with the New Orleans-based organization Daughters Beyond Incarceration, The Correctional Education Association – Wisconsin, The National Resource Center on Children and Families of the Incarcerated, and The Osborne Association of New York to put together a wonderful resource for caregivers of children with imprisoned parents.
