The opioid addiction and interaction in the criminal justice system have decimated communities all across America. Our team at J.O.Y. Behind Bars is dedicated to making a lasting impact through our one of a kind mentoring program - J.O.Y. in the Community M.A.T.T.E.R.S.

While our efforts are driven by our organization’s singular focus - to help the children who are separated from a parent(s) maintain academic, and emotional balance - we also minister to the incarcerated parent(s), to help reduce family instability due to recidivism.
