 \\u201cCan I raise my kids from within the walls?\\u201d Jim\\u2019s talk with Candace gives a very extensive answer to this question. He talks of how his incarceration in 1999 put him 500 miles away from the six kids he had by then. He had to make a request to be moved closer to them but still that wasn\'t enough. He still felt like he needed to get involved more in the upbringing of his kids and ensure they stayed out of prison, something he believes every incarcerated parent longs for. He shares how he got involved in a program that would help him reach out to his kids and how he even initiated the \\u201cParent Teacher Conference\\u201d with a Supportive Superintendent just to ensure inmates had this chance to be parents for their kids. Jim takes this to be of absolute importance as he believes it takes those in prison to stop the prisons from growing. It is possible to raise your kids from within the walls.
