Leslie's Place, operated by
Leslie Brown on Chicago's West Side, continues to be the
only transitional program that unites women leaving prison
with their children. Leslie offers what she calls a "sober,
homelike" atmosphere for the women -- and the facility is
always full. Twelve to 14 women, along with half a dozen
children, find a temporary home there. Leslie reports that
last year she had to turn 30 or so women away because she
had no room. Her dream is to find a larger building that can
house 24 to 36 women -- along with the resources to operate
it. |
