Helping People Stay Out of Prison

William96 · #1 07-12-2017, 12:52 PM

Hello, I am a college student preparing to start graduate studies in the fall at Texas Woman's University . My population of interest is prison populations with a focus on helping them reenter the general population successfully. I am currently running a survey examining how relationships impact people once they are released from prison. The survey should only take about 30 minutes and you can stop whenever you want if you do not wish to complete it. I hope that the information gathered can be used to improve resources for recently released individuals and possibly even improve programs offered within prisons, like education and faith programs. If you have ever been in prison, please consider participating. Follow the link below to get to the survey.

Advisory for PTO Members Regarding Requests from Journalists & Members of the Media, and Students/Researchers:

PTO welcomes journalists and/or members of the media to learn and educate themselves about prisons, prisoners, and their loved ones, as well as students and researchers doing research on these subjects.

We will, occasionally, allow the media or students/researchers to request information and personal stories from our members. However, PTO does not endorse any journalist, member of the media, story/report, media outlet, student/researcher, or educational/research institution.

If you decide to communicate with a media representative or a researcher, then you assume all of the risks involved. PTO is in no way liable for the outcome of the story/report/paper. Communication with members of the media and students/researchers is completely voluntarily and PTO holds no responsibility for the consequences of that communication.

PTO does not screen or authenticate any person(s) claiming to be from the media or from an educational/research institution, nor does PTO authenticate their motivations for obtaining the information.

As always, the disclosure of personal information (either yours or someone that is incarcerated) may have some serious repercussions. PTO has no way of predicting how the media or any researcher will present your story or that of your loved one. Any relationship with the media or any researchers is to be entered into at your own risk.

If you receive an unsolicited email or private message from a person claiming to be from the media or researching information for an educational or research institution, report it to the PTO Administration immediately.
