A Penitentiary Parent was born from the author Jerrod Buford's experience and determination to stay connected to his children during his incarceration. Jerrod recognized the need for a more meaningful way to communicate with children beyond brief, frustrating prison phone calls. In this book, he shares practical activities and insights designed to help parents build, rebuild and maintain strong, healthy and loving relationships with their children, no matter the distance. It is a heartfelt guide, not a set of instructions, for anyone seeking to be a more present parent from behind prison walls.
