Confronted with the stark reality of incarceration, family members risk their own safety to resolve issues and mend broken bonds as they attempt to provide a lifeline they hope can turn things around.<\/p>\n<p>With no guarantees, family members must ultimately decide if they can stay in the inmates&#8217; lives or will need to cut ties. Will the process help pave the way for healing and reunion for these 10 families or will some inmates find themselves facing reintegration alone?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So much of a person&#8217;s ability to succeed after incarceration comes down to whether they have the support of their family and loved ones. The &#8216;Family Lockup&#8217; program shines a light on the critical role relationships play in breaking the cycle of recidivism,&#8221; said Sheriff Nick Cocchi. &#8220;When we can help rebuild trust and strengthen these bonds inside the jail, we give people a real chance to stay out for good.
