Storybook Dads Video

Every child enjoys story time with their father. It’s a time of bonding, growing, and learning. But for many families, this important tradition isn’t possible. For both prisoners and their children, we know that restoring family bonds is critical to transforming lives and successful reentry. Without that bond, prisoners are at a higher risk of returning to crime, and their children are at risk of depression and destructive behavior.

 

The Storybook Dads program was introduced in Texas to help connect children and fathers, giving these kids much-needed “dad time,” and giving prisoners an opportunity to step up, take responsibility, and prepare for life after being released.
