Organized to Service Families of the Imprisoned

501(C)3

"Desire for connection with family does not end when incarceration begins, it increases".  

S. Brooks

Human interaction with loved ones from the outside during incarceration has been proven to decrease stress, tension, aggression and other maladies for both the person in prison and the forlorn family left behind.

Visitation is especially helpful for young children who may require assistance with understanding the meaning of imprisonment.

To relieve the devastating stresses associated with having loved ones imprisoned by utilizing our service, education and advocacy work.

Transportation is a HUGE barrier that creates stress when a loved one is imprisoned.  Most prisons are no less than 100 miles away with no public transportation available.

*WE PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION FOR APPROVED VISITORS .

*NOTE:  All Minnesota Correctional Facilities are on lock-down and are not accepting visitors at this time.

We also assist with registration to visit a loved one in prison, implement and facilitate classes that teach history of Corrections, instruct protocol for dress and behavior during visits, provide instructions for using JPAY, and other useful resources.

Each of our staff is a real member of 

Peace of Hope, Inc.

Yes, we all have someone incarcerated.

Our round-table conversations are held twice a month at various locations and also on radio, tv and in other media.

Events may be televised and topics will vary.

Get in touch with your loved one asap by using JPAY.  

Pictures, emails and even short videos can be sent using this free app on your phone.

You will require a debit or credit card for final transaction.

Monthly trips provided by Peace of Hope, Inc. transporting families to and from the MCF - Correctional Facilities are made by demand.

The Minnesota Department of Corrections has recognized the importance of visiting.  

We've collaborated with them to infuse our services in 11 counties throughout the State of Minnesota.

If your loved one has been categorized as a 'High Risk Offender', you may receive transportation to visit them for NO COST!
