Dorsey Run Correctional Facility (DRCF) recently hosted a Family Day, bringing incarcerated individuals and their loved ones together for a day filled with arts and crafts, games, gift baskets, and quality time. 🎨🎁🏀

Opportunities like these are an important part of family reunification, giving families the chance to reconnect, strengthen relationships, and create positive memories together. Maintaining those connections can provide meaningful support as individuals prepare for reentry and their return home.
