Every day an estimated 25,000 Jews are punished, though they have committed no crime. Wives, husbands, parents, and children of men and women in prison are entrapped by a threatening and powerful judicial system, sudden financial constraints, and the emotional stigma of having a family member in prison.
Families are often completely unaware of an impending arrest. Breadwinners are whisked away and families are left alone in shock. Bills soon mount up; rent is left unpaid; eviction notices are slapped on front doors.
Children suffer beyond measure. The emotional and physical severance from their mother or father leaves them bewildered and insecure. Their lives become a rollercoaster of confusion and pain. What do we tell them? What will they tell their friends?
These families desperately need our help.
