Analyzing the Problem, Creating a Solution
Recidivism
Did you know that most prisoners are a product of minimal education, living in low income environments, and social bonds? Studies show that these factors trigger the criminal's behavior. According to researchers, within three years of release, about two-thirds of released prisoners are rearrested; within five years of release, about three-fourths are rearrested for a different offense. This is a vicious cycle.
Depression/Anxiety
Michelle Williams (Singer)
Research shows that depression/anxiety is most prevalent in women today. One out of two women will go undiagnosed. One out of 8 women will experience depression in a lifetime, double the rate in men. Below are a few of the many signs of depression/anxiety:
• Insomnia/oversleeping
•Change in appetite/weight
• Lack of energy/concentration
• Low self-esteem/self-worth
• Guilt/shame• Sadness/emptiness
• Anger/resentment
Support is a Must!
Many of these women are single parents with NO support left alone to grieve. Moreover, many times, these women begin to experience depression, separation anxiety, and financial burdens just to mention a few. A lot of times these women have to live a double life because some can’t be honest in public. Why? The fear of judgment or the fear of rejection can even lead to the loss of friends, extended family, and maybe their job. Outside support is needed to bridge the gap between the incarcerated. Together we will begin to strengthen the mindsets of these families while increasing the probability of success after prison as a community.

Disclosure: LOCK-N-KEY is a support system designed solely for the woman to teach her how not to lose herself while helping her man to rebuild. At the same time, we assist her in making wise choices. We are not here to sell a dream for SUCCESS but to raise AWARENESS on how to be SUCCESSFUL after prison. Sadly, not every Prison Wife will have a happy ending. We are NOT a licensed therapy center. However, we are a living witness to the "AFTERMATH" after prison. We do not proclaim to know it all, but with research and personal experience, we know enough to know better (WISDOM). If a licensed therapist is needed, we can help pair you with someone in your area. We are here to help within reason, so stay CONNECTED!!
