Bridging the gap from prisons to purpose.
The moment of freedom is not just for the prisoners.
The aspect of that moment of freedom also extends to the families who endure the hardship of separation and diligently support their incarcerated loved ones across the journey of years during their incarceration experience. We at the Reaching Behind Bars Network, as a team walk alongside in support and personalized guidance to both the prisoners and their families.
Working Together for Prison Reform
Bridging the gap from prisons to purpose is essential for fostering a successful reentry into society. By focusing on rehabilitation and providing support, we can empower individuals to transform their lives and contribute positively to their communities. Together, we can create pathways that lead from confinement to meaningful opportunities.
Reaching Behind Bars Network Testimonials
Working with the families of those who are incarcerated is indeed a privilege. Seeing the "returning citizens" as they make it out of prison and flourish in such a positive way after their prison experiences, is a testimony all on its own. Taking part in helping those exiting prisons is a rewarding experience. - Miss LeAnn

We absolutely love Miss LeAnn at Reaching Behind Bars Network. There aren’t enough words to express our gratitude. At such a trying time in our lives, it is so comforting knowing that we have someone who genuinely cares for us. She has my husband working on things for the betterment of his future and she NEVER hesitates to calm my anxiety. I am constantly kept in the loop, never left to worry about things. Her dedication, communication and compassion are unmatched. Reaching Behind Bars has been an absolute blessing to my family.

I was referred to you after looking for some time you answered all my questions and listened to my concerns you were very informative and made sure I understood everything and the process that was going to take place. You were very genuine, and I could tell you cared. As soon as I agreed to hire you, you got straight to work and kept me informed every step of the way. And there are times I just need someone to talk to and your phone line has always been open and I’m more than thankful to know I have someone I can count on working to get my husband home, that I’m not left wondering what’s going on, or about the next step. You make our lives so much easier.
I’d definitely recommend anyone looking help with parole for their loved one, it would Be You For Sure1

Thank you so much for your commitment to helping me with my brother's release from TDCJ. With your help my mom was comforted from worrying so much as we saw the change developing within him before he was released. His young son Max is so happy to have his daddy home.

Thank you for helping our son achieve his parole. You are alwasy kind to take our late night calls of easing our worry. My son is very comfortable with you and says he hopes to get more actively involved with your organization once he is released. He is always proud to mention to other prisoners that he is one of your Field Coordinators. Thank you for giving my son a sense of hope and a purpose after his prison stay.
In gratitude.

I was fortunate to have found you, LeAnn Sowell, as you have been working diligently on my husband's parole presentation, and I am hopeful that he will be able to return home this year. I also wanted to express my gratitude for appointing me as your Deputy Director, a position that has been a blessing to me. Thank you for all that you do for me and for everyone else whose cases you have undertaken.

Miss LeAnn, your way of working with my son has been so helpful to his mother and me. As a family we have never had to deal with this type of situation involving the law and a prison. It was a real shock to the tender heart of my wife who is in her eighties as I am, to see our son being escorted into a visiting room and only allowed to briefly hug our son. Your guidance down to every detail has helped our family so much! We thank you on behalf of our son and our family who want him home.

We found you by accident overhearing someone at a small cafe outside of Palestine, having coffee.
I asked what was the name of the organization that helped prisoners make parole. I was skeptical at first but they said that you really work hard to help families of prisoners too. My son said that your name is popular in the prison system. Then I researched you and called you. You took the time to answer my questions and explained to me how all this works! You helped my son get his parole on a 50-year sentence! I am so happy we found you! Thank you for all that you do Miss LeAnn!
