serve
with us!
AFOI is serving families of people who are incarcerated, and is one of only a few such programs in the country. Your support of AFOI means that you are taking part in a creative, innovative and direct approach to serving families in need. You are helping to keep families together by making it possible for them to visit loved ones in remote, rural prisons and to better manage the stress and traumas they experience throughout this process. You are also helping our community to reduce crime, lower recidivism rates and increase Virginia’s rates of public safety. Individuals in prison eventually return to our community, over 90% of incarcerated individuals will return to our communities, and statistics show that those who have received regular, supportive visits, and who have maintained supportive contact and connections, while in prison are less likely to re-enter the criminal justice system once they are released.
