In 2006, The Peacemaker Family Center became a key partner in a multi-skilled service partnership to deliver a system of care capable of interrupting generation-to-generation incarceration. More than 5,000 Miami Dade County children have a parent in state and federal prison. Many others have parents in jail. Incarceration has severe unseen consequences for families. When a judge sentences a parent to prison, children begin serving time as well. Based on Peacemakers preliminary work, The Children's Trust has asked that our collaborative team take this work to another level. Peacemakers provide intensive case management services to children of inmates. These services will benefit the children, their caregivers, and our community at large.
