Abstract
In 1971 the Federal Correctional Institution in Tallahassee, Florida, began programs to involve family members in rehabilitating young offenders, using community resources wherever possible. Graduate social work students were recruited as volunteer counselors for visiting family members, and family-oriented therapy groups were established for inmates. Through community volunteers, programs were expanded to help visiting wives with transportation, meals, and lodging; later a house for community-based services was obtained, and other therapy groups were started.
