In this episode of the Safer Tomorrow Podcast, host Dr. Jo welcomes Mr. Jayson Downer, a passionate social advocate and the Deputy Chairman of the Board of Visitors at the Tower Street Adult Correctional Facility. Join them as they delve into the topic of fatherhood, just in time for Father's Day.
Mr. Downer shares his personal journey and the impact of his relationship with his own father, who was incarcerated during his childhood. He highlights the importance of acknowledging incarcerated fathers as more than just their mistakes, but as individuals who still have a vital role to play in their children's lives.
Through his work with MOGAVA (Men of God against Violence and Abuse) and the program "Fathering Behind Bars," Mr. Downer strives to remind, encourage, and equip incarcerated fathers to maintain a connection with their children, even while behind bars.
