Hour Children is committed to the compassionate and loving care of children of incarcerated women. Our outreach includes support and empowerment for mothers upon reunification with their families. All persons are encouraged to live and interact with dignity and respect.

The name of the organization was chosen by our dear friend, Jean Roulet, because the children's lives are dictated by the "hour" of the mother's arrest, the "hour" of the visit and the "hour" of her return.
