My Mom Is in Prison: Xieara’s Story
Scholastic Choices follows Xieara as she takes the more than 300 mile trip to visit her mom at Albion Correctional Facility.
Osborne offers a 12-session parenting program at Albion while providing outreach, support, and service referrals to the children of the mothers in the class, and their caregivers. Albion Correctional Facility is located near the Canadian border in northern New York state, almost 400 miles from New York City. Three times every year, Osborne facilitates a special extended visit day as part of the mothers’ graduation from the program. Children visit their mothers during a two-day trip, including a 6-hour visit on the second day.
