Join the Call From Prison facebook community today!

When someone you care about is in prison, life doesn’t just pause—it shifts. Suddenly, everyday moments are shaped by worry, distance, and a constant sense of uncertainty. Many people in this position feel isolated, unsure of where to turn for support, advice, or even just a sense of normality. That’s why we created the Call From Prison Facebook group—a free online community built specifically for people like you.

A free community that understands

This isn’t just another Facebook group. It’s a space created by people who know what it’s like to have a partner, parent, sibling, or close friend behind bars. Membership is completely free and open to anyone navigating the emotional and practical realities of staying connected to someone in prison. Whether you’re brand new to the prison system or have been dealing with it for years, you’ll find others who get it.

Connect with people in a similar situation

One of the most powerful aspects of the group is connection. Members often say they finally feel seen and heard after joining. You can ask questions, share your experience, or just read others’ posts and realize you're not alone. Whether you're dealing with long-distance visits, phone call challenges, sentence updates, or the emotional weight of it all—chances are, someone else in the group has been through it too.

Support and shared resources

The group is full of practical advice and shared knowledge. Need tips on how to schedule prison visits? Want to know the best way to stay in touch? Trying to make sense of a legal update or prison regime? Our members regularly post resources, experiences, and updates that make life a little easier. You’ll also find links to services, emotional support organizations, and affordable communication options like virtual landlines to help reduce call costs.

A safe and respectful environment

Privacy and respect are top priorities in our group. It's a moderated, secure space where judgement isn’t welcome. Everyone is navigating their own version of a difficult situation, so we make sure the environment remains safe, supportive, and focused on helping each other—not adding more stress. You can choose to post anonymously if that feels more comfortable. No pressure, just support.

Why does community matter?

Families and friends of inmates often get left out of the conversation. While the focus is usually on the person serving time, those on the outside are dealing with a long list of emotional, financial, and practical challenges. Our Facebook group is a reminder that you're not invisible. There are people here who understand what you’re going through and want to help.
