"The children learn that they are not alone. So they don’t feel so ashamed. They no longer feel like the world is against them."

About AIM

History and Success | Programs and Services | Photos

Aid to Children of Imprisoned Mothers, Inc. (AIM) is a non-profit community-based organization that assists inmate mothers, their children and other family members in maintaining critically important family ties during the mother's incarceration.

Created in 1987, AIM seeks to diminish the impact of the mother's incarceration on family relationships through a variety of support services to the children and other family members. These include after school programming, summer camp, and Saturday programs for the children, transportation of children for prison visits, emergency aid for families, and information and referral for mothers and caregivers. We also provide consultation to legislators, judges and other professionals on child custody issues.

AIM's mission is: "To inspire hope in children of incarcerated mothers and fathers, to help the children become successful adults, to strengthen their families and to share our considerable experience with communities worldwide to do the same."
 

AIM has teamed up with Fairness for Prisoners’ Families
