The Walden-Dickson Family
The Walden-Dickson Family is attempting to regain its footing after the father, Von, was imprisoned several times at State Correctional Institute – Graterford. During Von’s absence, Omyra, the mother, struggled to care for their daughter, Mariah, and their newborn son, Von, Jr. Stretched to the limit financially and physically, Omyra is outspoken about the importance of keeping family members close together. She is convinced that keeping men near their families reduces the risk of additional infractions, particularly when they are charged with minor offenses or parole violations.
Von’s return has been a major success thus far. The parents must work hard every day, but the family is reunited, both have jobs, and Von is committed to staying out of prison and keeping the family together.
