MU members provide support to those visiting prisons by holding shortcourses onwhat they can expect from a Nirst visit. This is essential in relaxingvisitorssothattheycangetthemostoutoftheirtimewiththeprisonresidents.They also hold workshops which involvemany of the services that come intocontactwiththefamilies.Bycollectingstoriesfromparentsandchildrenalreadywithin the system, they are able to highlight ongoing day to day issues, andprovidemoretargetedsupport.

Once a month at Onley prison in Coventry there are Family Days when amaximum of twenty prisoners have their families come for a few hours. Theprisonerscanplaywiththeirchildrenandcuddlethemwhichisnotallowedonnormalvisits.CoventryDioceseMUpayforbuffetfoodattheseFamilyDays.

To every cloud there’s a silver lining,

The darkest night must give way to dawn.

An aching heart isn’t sad for ever

Sorrows pass and new joys are born

The time seems long when you still are waiting

But if we wait with a trusting heart

Setting aside hurt and disappointment

The sun will shine and the clouds will part.
