New Hope provides opportunities for children to break the generational cycle of incarceration

From Tulsa-

Growing up with a father who was in and out of prison was a defining part of Chace Evan’s childhood.

Evans was 4 the first time his father went to prison.


He remembers one visit in particular he and his mom made to see his father.


“We walked out and I started crying and my mom starting crying, too. I was so confused, sad and angry,” he said.


Evans had a lot of anger issues when he was younger, which he believes stemmed from his father’s incarcerations.


Evans’ mother has also been in prison and she was worried that her son could follow in his parents’ footsteps.
