Beyond the Walls

Beyond the Walls is a Christian-based group offering emotional and spiritual support, love, and hope to parents (and other family members) of loved ones who are locked up in juvenile facilities, jail, or prison. Meetings are informal and very uplifting.

If you are feeling alone, ashamed, guilt, sadness, grief, hopelessness, anger--or like no one really understands how you feel--not even family or friends--we may be able to help you.

We have all walked in your shoes...and we do understand.

Here are some of the comments from members of our group:

"The group has really been there for me. Some of the members came with me to court, which gave me the strength to make it through the trial." -- Linda

"I came to the group to overcome a lot of guilt feelings. I found that we all share the same emotions and everyone really understands and supports you." -- Brenda

"Enlightening and illuminating to realize you're not alone..." -- Oliver

"This group is a blessing--not only to me, but to all who come--including praying for one another and for our incarcerated loved ones." -- Neontha

"You are not alone...God only knows how many people that cannot even talk to family members about this...please feel free to come" -- Ora

"I started this group because there was no group in our area for people like me--a mother with a son doing time in prison--I have found tremendous support and empathy here" -- Nita (Founder of Beyond the Walls)

We meet on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month, 7pm to 9pm in Modesto, CA. For more information please contact Nita @ 209-575-9637 or Linda @ 209-577-8014. We would love to have you visit our group!
