Publisher's Synopsis
Prose and Cons is a collection of poetry from the ongoing poetry workshops in the South Dakota State Department of Corrections.
This book was created by the inmates as a way to support the critical work of Family Connection. Family Connection provides hospitality houses that provide shelter for families traveling to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to visit an incarcerated loved one. This service allows families with limited incomes to continue the healing process with an incarcerated family member. Children's Connection, a United Way Agency, works with the Sioux Falls School District to provide group counseling services to children with an incarcerated family member. Children with a parent in prison are more likely to be incarcerated themselves. Family Connection, through the Children's Connection program, is working to break this cycle. Your support of Family Connection and their mission is greatly appreciated.
