Aleph Services to Families Aleph's Services to Families When a parent goes to prison or another institutional environment, an innocent spouse and children serve a sentence, too.
Dreams begin to die.
It is a horrible fact that children of a parent who goes to prison are statistically more likely to end up imprisoned themselves. Such children, despite their own innocence, are alienated, looked down upon and shamed in their own community. Their natural inclination is to consort with others who suffer the same and follow their path. Families members of military personnel also often find themselves physically distant from community and heritage. F.E.E.L.S. breaks this painful and destructive cycle.
