New prison program aims to strengthen bonds between children, incarcerated parents

ABERDEEN, Wash. — The Washington State Department of Corrections now has a program designed to help incarcerated parents bond with their kids when they visit.

It’s called the Imagination Library. The visitation room at the Stafford Creek Corrections Center in Aberdeen is a newly renovated area that’s now a creative child-friendly space.

The goal is to help foster the relationship between a child and their incarcerated parent during a visit.
