OUR STORY
Engaging, purposeful
& Creative
Out of the Ashes is dramatic expression of the real life journey of father and son who struggled while building a relationship after 14 years of separation. In 1994 Coley Harris went to prison to serve a 16 year sentence and he left behind his 2 year old son Ahmarr Melton. Father and son had to navigate their respective worlds.
Toll of Parental Incarceration
on Kids, Families and Communities
There are more than 1.7 million children in the United States with an incarcerated parent. Approximately 10 million—one in eight—of the nation’s children have experienced parental incarceration at some point in their lives. Rates are exacerbated in poor and minority communities. One in 43 (2.3 percent) American children has a parent incarcerated in state or federal prison.
