Understanding the Ripple Effects of Crime and Reentry

Crime impacts far more than just the individual offender. It creates waves that touch families, friends, and entire communities. At Prodigal Sons and Daughters, we recognize these challenges and work to heal and support everyone affected by the cycle of incarceration and reentry.

More Than One Life is Impacted by Crime

When a crime is committed, the consequences extend well beyond the offender. Loved ones often suffer emotional, social, and economic hardships—sometimes for years.

Families of offenders face ostracization, humiliation, and financial strain.

Victims and innocent bystanders carry wounds that need healing.

Successful reentry begins with offender responsibility but must also address family and community restoration.

Without comprehensive support, the cycle of incarceration continues to harm many lives.
