Through her involvement with The Fortune Society, word spread about the network Barbara was creating with the families. Eventually she formed Prison Families Anonymous (PFA) as a non-profit that provides a safe, non-judgmental place where those in similar situations can connect with one another. “That was the beginning of my recovery,” she says.
Barbara became known throughout the prison, law enforcement and judicial communities as a knowledgeable resource and she continues to be sought out as a speaker at civic, religious, educational and social organizations helping people to understand the impact incarceration can have on families.
