Girl Scouts of Santiam
Council was awarded $21,500 of a federal grant from Girl Scouts of the USA and
the U.S. Department of Justice to support and expand the Girl Scout Beyond Bars
(GSBB) program at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility.
The goal of this mother-daughter prison visitation program
is to reduce the chances that the daughters of incarcerated women will end up in
similar situations. It also helps rebuild mother-daughter bonds and gives the
incarcerated women a chance to build their own sense of self-worth.
