Pamela, 
There are many wonderful PARENTING resources listed on the Smart Marriages
Directory of Programs that are ideal for the prison population because they
are so portable: DVD/workbook based.

I'd refer them to the PARENTING EDUCATION section:
http://www.smartmarriages.com/directory_browse.html#type_8

And, also to the STEP-PARENTING section:
http://www.smartmarriages.com/directory_browse.html#type_6

I'd also emphasize that with the TOOB (Teach Out of Box) format, model
prisoners can become instructors and mentors - get the kit and teach these
courses to their fellow mates.  And, they might become instructors after
release.

In case you missed it this morning, WATCH the piece here:

The 700 Club did a GREAT job in their Marriage Savers/Community Marriage
Policy overview.  It's so good that I'm going to install a permanent link to
this one.  The Clackamas Oregon CMP has seen a 17% reduction in divorce!

- WOW!! CALL FOR PROPOSALS: DEVELOP AN INTERACTIVE MARRIAGE SITE

Wow!  Just think of the potential for  change .... if this works, if the
NHMRC can sponsor a healthy, thriving, interactive, "go to" site for the
public.  Someone out there who has all the Marriage know-how must also have
a son or daughter or niece or nephew who has the Internet know-how and is
looking for a project like this..... - diane
