Exhibit

Office on Justice and Peacebuilding

When a Parent is in Prison" is a documentary project of MCC's Office on Justice & Peacebuilding and Eastern Mennonite University's Center for Justice and Peacebuilding. The photo exhibit provides a glimpse into the lives of the two million, four hundred thousand children who have a parent in prison. As Nell Bernstein, author of "All Alone in the World" has stated "These children have committed no crime, but the price they are forced to pay is steep. They forfeit too much of what matters to them: their homes, their safety, their public status and private self-image, their primary source of comfort and affection. Their lives are profoundly affected."

The exhibit is user friendly and sets up easily on two 8' tables in a variety of configurations. The exhibit has 12 two-sided panels (a total of 24) which are set up in pairs.

Churches, schools and other agencies/groups may reserve the exhibit by contacting MCC Resource Distribution at 717-859-1151 or order it on the web at mcc.org/catalog. Groups pay shipping and handling plus a $50 rental fee.
