Did you know that more than half of incarcerated women are mothers? 💔
For a woman , the weight of the sentence isn’t just the time served—it’s the "invisible sentence" of being separated from her children.
Incarcerated women face unique hurdles that often go unseen:
✨Higher rates of past trauma: survivors of domestic violence or sexual abuse.
✨Primary Caregiver Stress: the sole providers for their kids before their arrest, leading to anxiety about their children’s well-being.
✨Lack of Support Systems: Women often receive fewer visits and less outside financial support than incarcerated men.
This is why we are dedicated to supporting and lifting up the women at WCCW. Our chaplains along with the countless volunteers they coordinate, run incredible programs and classes, as well as providing individualized connection to support healing. 🕊️
Our intention is to provide a safe, judgment-free space for women to process grief, heal from trauma, and find the spiritual strength to navigate these specific challenges. Whether it’s a listening ear during a difficult anniversary or guidance on breaking cycles, this support is a lifeline.
