Social Polices and Laws Cause Abandonment Issues
People are denied opportunities to fully participate in society and to use services or take advantage of opportunities that are available to the majority of society. This causes people to cope with life without the means of support and the benefit of public, social, and legal services. Policies and laws are passed to protect people. Sometimes they can handicaps individuals and their children, and deny them the opportunities to sustain themselves. Laws, social, and public policies can cause people to feel and experience abandonment. I am asking you to identify examples of this by adding your topics and examples to the comments section below.

To get you started on laws, social, and public polices that causes abandonment issues and experiences, please view the following video. This is the only program of its kind in womens' prisons in the U. S. It is a collection of writings (love, health, and emotional issues starting as a child) from women in prison called...Bridging The Gap. Be prepare to listen to their pain and hear their abandonment issues. Ask yourself if the policies and laws in place now in the U.S., aid these women before and after prison? It is the beliefs of many, and I am one of them, that feel that they contribute to these women being abused and homeless after prison? Let the learning begin!

First off - a very powerful and extremely sad glimpse into the lives of those that were apparently given no chance from the time they were born or who were damaged later in life by circumstances beyond their control.
I realise I am an outsider looking in, with no expert opinion. So what I have to say could be taken the wrong way or be in fact incorrect. But having been given the opportunity to comment I feel I have something to say.
I realise if you do the crime you do the time. But, I just wonder at times, if the lengths given in the US system do anything at all to avert the crimes they they are trying to prevent.
Imprisoning more people and building more prisons is not the right answer.
Crime prevention through education, protection of those at risk, healing and repairing the damage done is a priority in order to prevent this sad saga from continuing.
Anything that can be done before and after the damage is done, is to be commended. I'm surprised that this program is the only one of its kind.
Yes, it is sad to listen to their stories. It is also sad to hear what their victims and families also had to go through at the hands of the offenders.
I do not see an end to this victim and offender cycle. Humans, even with the best advise, will continue to be drawn into conflict that leads to serious injury, death and imprisonment.
Having said that, both victims and incarcerated offenders need hope that their lives will be made better. Without hope and continued abandonment, what else is there but the unimaginable.
Both offender and victim want closure to their pain. Continued support goes a long way but for some the damage is too great and they will never be as we want them to be.
This program goes a long way to preventing further crime amongst at risk women. But will they listen? I hope so.
I wish we all lived in Utopia!
Thank you for sharing this article.

Women in prison is an issue that politicians avoid talking about the true cause and effects, and cost and affects on the family and society.

I agree with you totally! Please do want you can to bring this to everyone's issues. Here is link to the group that is sponsoring this cause. http://www.womensfundmiami.org/A1U.htm#D7F3A7 and http://www.reentrymediaoutreach.org/gap.htm
Thanks for caring!! It isn't an easy task getting people to acknowledge what they choose to ignore.
When I saw the play, I saw about forty people get up and walk-out in the first 15-minutes of the play. I overheard comments from the women that this was to intense for them. I question if those women had experienced with abusers and that it was unresolved. I saw men storm-out, I question if they were abusers. Other men around me talked-out loud trying to speak louder than the actors, I know they were abusers because they became aggressive to their spouses when they tried to correct their behavior!
Thanks again!!

I have so many mixed emotions. That video was sad, and triumphant all at the same time. Sad that someone had to be harmed to get these women in prison. Sad that children are missing out on a relationship with their mother. Triumphant that they have begun to understand what they did and give them self esteem which is where I think it all stems from.

Hi John,
First I would like to thank-you for posting this clip for others to see... Some may not understand what it really means... But that is okay! Because the one that it does touch will be the one that can cause the changes so desperately needed.
I work with in a women's ministry that deals with the hurts and injustices done to women and how to cope! So I appreciate what you are trying to do! And I just want to take a minute to say Thank-you for that!
You may feel that you are just one drop in the bucket sometimes... but all it takes is one drop to cause an overflow!
