The Sisters to Sisters Program assists female offenders who are in need of positive influences both mentally, emotionally and socially before and after release from the Prince George's County Department of Corrections to their community. An emphasis of the program is to link female detainees with women employed by the Prince George's County Government, community resources, agencies and other support system.

Mission Statement

All people deserve equal opportunities of hope. Realizing that none of us are immune to the trials and tribulations of life, Sisters to Sisters was established as a support system to assist in transforming the lives of other women who are in need of a helping hand.

1. reduce the County's Correctional Center population,
2. strengthen moral fortitude, and
3. successfully assimilate female offenders back into mainstream society by providing them with essential post-release supplemental services necessary to stop the cycle of repeated incarceration.

Program Purpose

• To provide a multi-faceted mentoring program between women employed by the Prince George's County Government and female detainees at the Prince George's County Department of Corrections.
• To provide positive role models to incarcerated women in need of encouragement and self-betterment.
• To engage in one-on-one mentorship that motivates the mentee to live drug-free and maintain a healthy productive lifestyle for themselves and their children.
• To provide emotional and/or professional support to incarcerated women that will follow them from incarceration to transition back into the community.
• To provide transitional resources and assistance to mentees through various county agencies.
• To provide mentor/mentee events and activities that provide opportunities for mentees to become exposed to a variety of educational and cultural experiences.
