The following article was originally published in Inside Journal®, a quarterly newspaper printed and distributed by Prison Fellowship® to correctional facilities across the country.

Four-year-old Kassey didn't understand why her daddy was leaving her behind. Could Angel Tree® help a hurting family during this time of separation?
Four-year-old Kassey was confused. She kept hearing about "prison" and "incarceration," but she didn't know what the words meant.
