Скачать или смотреть Parenting & Prison with CRJ: Kalena Rodriguez

In fall 2025, Colorado Radio for Justice hosted a Conversation and Listening Party, "Parenting & Prison." This was part of the Redline Contemporary Arts Center's HIGH WALLS Summit in Denver.

Participants and presenters reflected on the complex journey of parenting during and after prison: Herbert Alexander from Colorado Radio for Justice shared audio excerpts of his award-winning audio documentary, “Incarcerated Dads.” Pam Clifton from Colorado Criminal Justice Reform Coalition shared excerpts from her book 'Tell Them You Love Them: An Incarcerated Parent’s Resource Guide.'

And, in this clip, Kalena Rodriguez from Unbreakable Ministries and Built to Recover shared a piece of writing from her son, offering context to her work providing support to parents who are, or have been, incarcerated or detained.

Each of these community leaders also shared perspectives from their own lived experience as parents who have navigated the criminal-legal system.

The conversation was moderated by Lucy Richardson and produced by Ryan Conarro, both team members at Colorado Radio for Justice. www.radioforjustice.org
