The Bridge - Family Resource Center

Friends Outside is a nonprofit organization based in California that has been serving incarcerated individuals, their families, and communities since 1955. The organization focuses on facilitating visitation and providing essential support services, including emergency clothing for visitors, to help maintain family connections during incarceration. Recognizing the significant impact of family ties on recidivism rates, Friends Outside advocates for the importance of maintaining relationships between incarcerated parents and their children. Through their programs, they aim to ease the transition back to society for those reentering the community and support the well-being of families affected by incarceration. Generated from the website
