The needs of children and families are mostly ignored in the design of criminal justice policy. In order to address this inequity, CCJRC staff, along with child welfare professionals, lawyers, Department of Corrections personnel, caregivers, and incarcerated parents, developed a groundbreaking manual entitled Parenting from Prison: A Legal Resource Guide for Incarcerated Parents in Colorado. This publication is designed to provide men and women with concrete information on how to parent from prison, work with caregivers, and navigate the legal system in a divorce, child support, paternity, or dependency and neglect case. To date, over sixteen thousand copies have been distributed to parents in prison, caregivers, child welfare professionals, and court facilitators in Colorado. It has also been profiled at several national child welfare conferences.

It is our intention that this publication be made available to any interested prisoner for free; however, in order to cover the costs of updating, reprinting, and distribution, we are hoping that organizations and government agencies will purchase the manuals for $3 per copy or $1.50 per copy for orders of five or more. People in prison in Colorado should ask their case manager or program staff for a copy. People in local jails can request a copy by writing to CCJRC. You can download Parenting from Prison for free (2.6mb PDF), place an order by emailing info@ccjrc.org, or by using the form below.

If you know of a case worker or program manager who might find Parenting from Prison to be useful, please let us know and we will mail a complimentary evaluation copy.
