It's an unfortunate fact that, according to the latest Census, 10.4% of the entire African-American male population, ages 25-29 are incarcerated.  That's compared to 2.4% for Hispanic males, and 1.2% for white males.  In Virginia, as of 2008, 58.6% of the entire prison population consists of Black males.

What affect does this have on the Black family?  How are the women who are left behind able to keep the family intact?  How are they able to cope psychologically, socially and spiritually?  On the next Another View we'll talk about this critical issue with Reesy Floyd-Thompson, Director of Prisoners' Wives, Girlfriends and Partners; Claudia Williams, Social Worker with the Family Integration Program, Department of Human Services, Norfolk, and Dr. Sherry Daniels, Director of Lifeline Link Video Conferencing in Norfolk, an innovative program to keep families in touch with the incarcerated loved one.  Plus - beautiful portraits of beautiful women on the Peninsula - see the "Women of a New Tribe" exhibit.  It's all on Another View, Friday night at 9 on WHRO-TV, digital 15.1.
