A sentence should never separate a family from hope.

We support incarcerated individuals and the children and families who love them—before, during, and after incarceration.

Our mission

Support that reaches the whole family.

To empower incarcerated individuals and their children and families through support, connection, and resources—before, during, and after incarceration.

Incarceration affects more than one person. It changes communication, caregiving, finances, emotional health, and a child’s sense of safety. The Prison Brat Foundation exists to help families navigate those changes with dignity, practical help, and hope.

How we help

Care for every part of the journey.

We listen first, then connect individuals and families with support that meets them where they are.

01

Family connection

Strengthening communication, relationships, and family bonds throughout incarceration.

02

Guidance & resources

Resource referrals, system navigation, basic-needs support, and practical next steps.

03

Growth & preparation

Education, mentoring, life skills, and preparation for successful reentry.

04

Hope after incarceration

Encouragement, restored relationships, second chances, and lasting change.

Why “Prison Brat”?

We reclaim the story—and write a new ending.

The name comes from lived experience. Founder Sunday Jones knows what it means to grow up with an incarcerated parent and carry questions, stigma, and pain that children are rarely given space to name.

Here, “Prison Brat” is not a label of shame. It is a declaration that a child is more than their circumstances, a family is more than a sentence, and every life still holds purpose.

“Our circumstances may shape the beginning, but they do not get to write the ending.”
TPBF — The Prison Brat Foundation

Community partnership

Stronger families make stronger communities.
