Estimates run as high as one out of every three persons becoming involved with the penal system in some way *other* than as inmate. Friends and family members, wishing to be of support to the person going through the criminal justice system, get caught up in its procedures; they are thrown into the world of penology by just VISITING, which can sometimes be mortifying, embarrassing or cruel. This will be a support conference to compare notes, to tell of experiences (good or bad), to share the special anxieties of this unique but increasingly common bond. No one has to reveal who "their inmate" is, or the relationship. That's not important here. And OUTING (revealing who ANOTHER's inmate is) is completely forbidden; this is nobody's business. What is important is that each participant come away with the knowledge that they are not alone in what they are experiencing.
