Depression

Every incarceration is painful not just for the loved ones, but for the

prisoners themselves as well…

But, PAIN comes from their longing to finally be with

their families again…

Everyday, they would have to deal with the idea why they have to do their

time behind bars…

The thought and the sight of making their families

suffer is above all painful than any other

punishments the law could give…

Acceptance of their faults and failures would mean so much to them…The family should make them feel that when they get to the end of the

tunnel thata good LIFE is still waiting for them …

Constant communication is important to somehow ease all their pains…

Families should bridge the distance… their HAPPINESS is just numbers away.

At this point, nothing else would matter most than to hear your voice.

nightmare.
