PRISON FELLOWSHIP: Fatherhood

  • Uncategorized
Men Who Serve and Protect

The following post originally appeared as a BreakPoint radio commentary.

Now that Father’s Day is past, we can ignore dads again for another year. I’m joking, of course, but society isn’t. And that’s the problem.

We’ve discussed the cultural attacks on men many times before on BreakPoint, how pop culture is fond of portraying them as over-grown adolescents, or worse, as sadistic and violent haters of women.

Dads Matter

Ninety percent of runaways and homeless children are from fatherless homes. So are 63 percent of teens who commit suicide, and 39 percent of jail inmates. When it comes to kids’ well-being, nothing is more beneficial than a loving, supportive relationship with their fathers.

Dancing Behind Bars

In January, Alyson Quinn wrote a story about Angela Patton and her idea of holding father-daughter dances in prison.  Such a dance was recently held at the Richmond (Virginia) City Jail, and has garnered a fair amount of media attention.

An article in the Washington Post takes a look at the event, giving a glimpse of both fathers and daughters as they prepare for the dance.

Visiting Jonathan

All I wanted to do was give the boy a hug – and I couldn’t. Between us stood a large, heavy steel door. We could only gaze at each other through a thick pane of security glass, eight inches high and eight inches wide.
