My Coping
The 7 whys of prison visits
These are some of the thoughts other young people have about their visits
- Why don't the prison staff treat us like human beings?
- Why can we not have private visits, its difficult to talk when there are others about?
- Why can we not have a support group set up for children who are going through the same thing… all I want is a friend?
- Why is there no help, my mother can't work and we have no money?
- Why was there nobody I could talk too when my Dad was taken away?
- Why can prisons not speak to families at the beginning and get to know them?
- Why can I only see my dad once a month, I worry that he will forget me?
