About us
Founded more than 25 years ago, Hour Children® was named to acknowledge the important hours that shape the life of a child with an incarcerated mother – the hour of their mother’s arrest, the hour of their visit, and the hour of her release. The organization’s vision is to end the cycle of intergenerational incarceration. Our mission is to help incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and their children successfully rejoin the community, reunify with their families, and build healthy, independent and secure lives. To accomplish this, Hour Children provides compassionate and comprehensive services and encourages all to live and interact with dignity and respect.

Hour Children has joined the signatories in support of increasing critically needed funding!
The Network and nearly 100 nonprofit organizations across New York State sent a letter to Governor Hochul urging her to #savesupportivehousing statewide by increasing the drastically underfunded New York State Supportive Housing Program (NYSSHP), to current, better funded, Empire State Supportive Housing Initiative (ESSHI).

Executive Director Alethea Taylor, Hour Children Taconic and Bedford Hills staff, the Taconic and Bedford Hills Correctional Facilities Administration staff ~ attended the annual All Souls’ Day Taconic Cemetery memorial event, that also included attendees from the Town of Bedford, NYS Senate and Assembly representatives, many inter-faith community attendees and invited guests. Due to the many years of efforts by Sister Antonia Maguire, the first Catholic Chaplain in Prison Ministry in the state of New York, and a NYS DOCCS Directive, those buried are now identified by their names on their grave site markers. The annual All Souls' Day event is organized by the Interfaith Prison Partnership.
