Impacted individuals often feel unsafe disclosing their experiences with the criminal legal system as they risk shaming and stigma. This is why people often are surprised to learn that 1 in 14 children in the United States has a parent who is or has been incarcerated and how that experience ripples through families and communities. Those impacted often experience depression, anxiety, addiction, isolation, fear of connection, confusion, interpersonal bullying, anger, and mistrust, but they are also resilient and powerful with much wisdom to share.

The library features interviews covering key topics. Interviewees include individuals who grew up with an incarcerated loved one, those who have been incarcerated, and those working with individuals and families impacted by incarceration. It is available, free of charge, to anyone seeking support, connection, guidance, and wisdom.
