PUNISH THE CRIME BUT QUIETLY PROTECT THE CHILD
February 11, 2026the vision Behind Tabitha Safe House is to bring peace to parents in prison and provide a safe, Christian-based home to care for their children in their time of need.
Every child at Tabitha House will be treated with love and respect and will have all their physical needs met. They will receive a warm, clean bed to sleep in, three healthy nutritious meals per day and clean clothes to wear. Their access to education will be a top priority and all their medical needs will be met. We will foster a healthy environment by enrolling each child in public school and involving them in their community by enrolling them in activities that match their interests
ach child that enters Tabitha House will be treated with love and respect and will have all their physical needs met. They will receive a warm, clean bed to sleep in, three healthy nutritious meals per day and clean clothes to wear. Their access to education will be a top priority and all their medical needs will be met. We will foster a healthy environment by enrolling each child in public school and involving them in their community by enrolling them in activities that match their interests. We will also introduce each child to other children in their community to build strong friendships that will help foster a sense of place and identity within their community.
No child should be punished for the mistakes of their parents. When we nurture children of incarcerated mothers and fathers, we break cycles of pain and sow seeds of restoration
Lastly, we will encourage each child to maintain a healthy relationship with their mother by facilitating monthly visits throughout the child’s stay at Tabatha House. If a monthly visit is not possible, a visit will be organized no less than every three months. Once a child’s mother has been released from prison, they will be returned to the care of the mother unless there is a legal order preventing the reunification of mother and child.
