The Messages Project is currently in
prisons in four states: Virginia,
Oklahoma, California, and Nebraska,
where the Department of Corrections
has mandated the Project for all
Nebraska prisons. Carolyn hopes to
soon expand the Project to Florida and
other states. Prisons are asked to offer
the Project three times a year: at
Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Father’s
Day. Carolyn has also developed an
interactive program to support parent/
child bonds. The first book, which
includes pages for children and their
parents to complete and send to each
other, will be released this fall.
