day-with-dad-thumbA DAY WITH DADS

Family is the foundation of our society. And every year, hundreds of prisoners and their families are reunited for a day through programs such as Prison Fellowship's InnerChange Freedom Initiative.

"Day with Dads" is a special time when families are once again able to be together and enjoy the wonderful moments that only come between a dad and his children. The "Day with Dads" program not only changes a child's life—it changes a family.
