BEYOND PRISON

Empowering incarcerated parents to restore relationships and rebuild their families.

Making an impact on Both Sides

We help families impacted by incarceration flourish by supporting them both on the inside and the outside.

Here’s how it works on the inside!

Destination… Dad

Classes

We offer three classes to equip incarcerated dads to help their children flourish. Each class meets once a week for 90 minutes for 7 weeks.

Inside-Out Dad®

This parenting program gives incarcerated dads the tools they need to become more involved, responsible, and committed in the lives of their children.

Within My Reach™

Building and maintaining healthy, long-term, romantic relationships is the focus of this class offered to both men and women.

Boys Town’s Common Sense Parenting®

Participants learn to build healthier connection with their children by using skills that help guide their children’s behavior.

Incentives

Dads are eligible for incentives after the first class giving them opportunities to practice communication with their children and apply the skills they are learning.

Daddy Day Visits

This 2-hour monthly visit helps dads connect with their children in a more intimate setting than a regular visit.

DVD from Mom/Dad

Twice a year parents are given the opportunity to be videotaped reading a book or sharing a special message to their children. The book and DVD are then sent as a gift to the children.

Annual Events

Fathers are given extra special opportunities to connect and bond with their children through events like the Father-Daughter Dance, the Father-Son Hangout, and Nature Night with Dad.

Staying connected matters.

Strengthened relationships through Destination…Dad can heal trauma and bring hope.

Here’s how it works on the outside!

family advocacy

Family Opportunities

We offer regular opportunities to connect with others through Beyond Prison and the entire Christian Heritage Community. These events are open to anyone impacted by incarceration, regardless of whether the dad is in the Destination…Dad program.

Events

Fun, quarterly community events provide a chance to connect with and support others also walking through this difficult time.

Individual Support

Loved ones can connect with CH staff for assistance with personal needs and/or community resources.

Family Day

This monthly event offers a meal, childcare, and connection time for families of those incarcerated as well as those on probation or parole.
