I am the mother of a currently incarcerated crack addict.

by Karen

I am the mother of a currently incarcerated crack addict. He has been living with this addiction for many years. During this jail sentence, I want to supply him with the tools he needs to be prepared when he is free to make his own decisions again.

That's the problem. If the temptation is not around, he's fine. But if it presents itself, he can't say no. Trying to find him a pen pal that has been through the addiction and daily struggles.

Some one who can relate to where he is in his life, and prepare him for when he gets out, a realistic look is my goal. I want him to be prepared to be successful. Do you know any such groups/organizations? Do you have any ideas? Thank you for any guidance you can provide.
