I never experienced having one of my parents in prison but I guess I can just imagine how it feels like after watching. Thanks for the video.

I have a boyfriend of 3 years incarcerated until 2010 or 2011 we have lived together since we first got together, he was my everything, I have been in and out of severe depression since he was taken from me. I feel anger, sadness, confused, upset, enraged and I feel abandoned. So I guess it’s safe to say we were like husband and wife, and one night without a goodbye he was taken from me. He is now serving his sentence an hour and a half from where we live in southwest Florida. He was previously incarcerated for 15 years and I fear he is institutionalized and I want to help him become a productive citiizen of society once he is released, I feel such a great loss I have been looking for sites like this on and off to try and help us. If anyone has a similiar story in losing their better half to the system please share, it will and DOES help us so we know we’re not alone, I still feel alone a lot of the time. Best of luck to all of you in the same boat I am. May God bless you and your loved one incarcerated.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video. I found it very personable to listen and watch someone rather than just reading information. Thanks again. Happy Holidays
