The Impact of ‘Apart’ and Chopping for Change
Each year, across the U.S., long-term incarceration will separate over 130,000 children from their mothers, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics. In addition to this, according to the Prison Policy Initiative, 58% of all women in U.S. prisons are mothers, as are 80% of women in jails. In this blog, we highlight the impact of the Apart documentary and the life-changing work being done through LMM’s Chopping for Change (C4C) program.
