We continue our journey by looking at a system where we rarely consider our children, the criminal legal system. When parents enter this system and are waiting in jail, how do we support their children and the unexpected caregiver now responsible for taking care of them? In this episode we gain the worldview of Debra Vines, Founder and CEO of The Answer Inc. who helps us explore this issue as she shares her story on how coming in contact with the criminal justice system impacted her family.
