Father’s Day is this Sunday, and while there are many struggles to being a parent, men who have been incarcerated citizens may find it very tough to be a father. There are many challenges for incarcerated parents — and while serving time, the big question stands: How can you still maintain a relationship with your child after being behind bars?
Advocate and public speaker Tore Price was an incarcerated father himself, sentenced to 10 years in prison and leaving behind his 2-year-old son. Price joined Created Equal to discuss his experience with fatherhood, incarceration and the proposed legislation he advocates for, called the “Second Look” bills in Michigan.

Tore Price is a public speaker, educator, advocate for formerly incarcerated people, especially fathers advocating for Michigan House bills 456-460. The proposed legislation would allow an incarcerated individual who has served at least 10 years of their prison sentence the opportunity to petition to their judge for a resentencing, possibly reducing their prison time.
