    Children of Incarcerated Parents Speak

    It’s been a few months since the last show but the web radio show is back. On Wednesday, October 7 at 9 p.m. EST, Makeba and I will be talking to Marika Turano, the documentary filmmaker of The Word Is Love. Capturing the voices of children affected by arrest and incarceration, The Word Is Love looks at the impact of incarceration, but from a child’s point of view. During the show, Turano will talk about the film and how the children featured in the film handled the impact of their parent(s) incarceration, including life with their caretakers, handling the stigma of incarceration, their feelings about their incarcerated parent and life after their parents are released. One of the children featured in the film, Kasem“Chuckie” Watson, will also join us during the show. Watson, whose mother was incarcerated for four years, will talk about the impact that his mother’s incarceration had on his life, and how he forged a relationship with her following her release. Ms. Lorraine Watson Sr., the grandmother featured in the film who became the caretaker of her grandchildren while their mother was imprisoned, will also join the show. Watson Sr. will discuss the impact that incarceration had on her life and the sacrifices she had to make. Check out the link for a clip of the film below from the film and be sure to listen live during the show.

    Loss and Reintegration Back Into Family Life

    We’ll be talking to Dr. Harland Kessaris, a psychologist who specializes in reintegration into family life following a prison term. You may remember Dr. Kessaris from an interview he did with Tiffany Garlic last year around the holidays. We decided to bring him back to talk about what families can do to cope with the loss of a loved one to the prison system and how the family on the outside can reconnect with a loved one behind bars. He will also talk about both family and social dynamics and what former inmates can do to reintegrate into family life.

    Makeba and I will be talking to Chandra Villanueva, a Policy Associate at the Women’s Prison Association (WPA) and author of WPA’s new report on prison nursery programs. The report, which is a comprehensive look at prison nursery centers across the country, is due out on Monday, a day after Mother’s Day. We’ll be talking to Villanueva about the results from the report, why it matters, and what it means in terms of new policies and potential effects on the prison system. We’ll also be joined by Tina Reynolds, founder of Women on the Rise Telling HerStory (WORTH), an association of women who have been empowered by personal experiences to advocate for policy changes that create barriers for women and their families during and after incarceration.
