Federal Resource Center for Children of Prisoners Has a New Home at Family and Corrections Network

CWLA is pleased to announce the Federal Resource Center for Children of Prisoners has a new home and will continue to serve the field at the Family and Corrections Network (FCN) website.

The Resource Center was created in 2001 through a cooperative agreement with the National Institute of Corrections at the U.S. Department of Justice and was operated by CWLA. During the last four years, the center has collected and disseminated information, developed resources, provided training and technical assistance, and greatly increased public awareness about the needs and concerns of the children and families of the incarcerated.

FCN, a CWLA member agency, was founded in 1983 to provide resources for people helping children and families of prisoners. FCN has been a partner with CWLA and the Federal Resource Center, and we are pleased this transition will provide the field with a strong resource for this vital work.

The resource center now has a new name, the National Resource Center on Children and Families of the Incarcerated; is now located in Philadelphia, and is on the Internet at www.fcnetwork.org.
