Unique Programs

• Family Ties:  Family Ties programming at FPRC, initially established in 1998, is designed to support a strengthening of the bonds between the offenders, their children, and all members of their families.  Using an intergenerational approach, the activities are designed to offer healthy models of family activities to assist the men in learning appropriate and positive ways to engage in activities with their families.  Strengthening of these family ties also serves to help reinforce the support system the offender will have when she returns to the community, thereby helping to ensure a more successful reentry.  Offender participation in Family Ties program development helps to ensure the activities meet their needs.
