It’s exactly what we have faced in my husband’s incarceration. Surprise that we’re trying to stay together and wondering why we would try to anyway.
The words on their websites and materials SAY they promote family and community integration, but those of us who live on this side of the prison/jail know that is simply untrue. Undermining the family at every turn appears to be the mode of operation.

Dear Mr. Santos
My name is Molly Woods and I am currently enrolled in Dr.Torres Corrections class. I just read “A Prison Presentation for My Wife” and had a couple questions regarding marriages for those incarcerated because I hear about it so seldom, please take no offense to these questions. My questions to you are:
1)Are all inmates allowed to get married?
2)How do inmates get married? (Where, who can be there. etc.)
3)Once married (or previously before entering incarceration), is it legal for the correctional system to transfer you to another prison? Are family ties taken into account when discussing the transfer of an inmate? Does having children have an affect on these decisions?
Thank you for the time you are taking to answer my questions, as well as my classmates. I look forward to reading your book and being able to understand the Correctional system better because of the time you are taking with helping us all. Take care.
Thank you,
Molly Woods
