NAME:         FAMILY/FRIENDS OF INCARCERATED (FFIncar)
NUMBER:       431
DESCRIPTION:  As crime increases more and more prisons are being built
              to house inmates who were previously allowed probation.
              Estimates run as high as one out of every three persons
              becoming involved with the penal system in some way
              *other* than as inmate.   Friends and family members,
              wishing to be of support to the person going through
              the criminal justice system, get caught up in its
              procedures; they are thrown into the world of penology
              by just VISITING, which can sometimes be mortifying,
              embarrassing or cruel. 
              This will be a support conference to compare notes, to tell
              of experiences (good or bad), to share the special
              anxieties of this unique but increasingly common bond.
              No one has to reveal who "their inmate" is, or the
              relationship.  That's not important here.  And OUTING
              (revealing who ANOTHER's inmate is) is completely
              forbidden; this is nobody's business.   What is important is
              that each participant come away with the knowledge that
              they are not alone in what they are experiencing.

              a parent or other family member who walked out, or just an
              old friend you haven't seen in a long time---but are a bit
              apprehensive about making the first move, leave a
              private-routed message to the host (Jane Semeraro #1913)
              with your contact information and name of the prospective
              person(s) you hope to reunite with.  Jane will keep a
              confidential database to track the names.  If the
              prospective person also makes this contact, you both will
              be notified simultaneously.  The reunion must be mutually
              desired (by both parties) before any contact information
              will be released by Jane.  Private-routed mail is
              recommended for the reuniting service itself, however,
              feel free to post public messages as well---others may
              know the person you are seeking.  Could there be someone
              in this database hoping to see or hear from you again?

              code, while easy to write does require a knowledge
              of programming, and hints and tricks can be passed
              down to new comers to the field from the more
              experienced PPL programmers.  More advanced PPL
              programmers can swap methods that solve even the
              most difficult problems.  There is not a PCB sysop
              out there that does not take advantage of PPE's,
              and that will benefit greatly from this conf addition.
