Incarcerated mothers and fathers can celebrate the holidays with their children next week as part of events hosted by the Arlington County Sheriff’s Office.
Incarcerated parents must meet certain requirements for the opportunity to have dinner with their children and make themed crafts.
The recently released holiday movie “The Grinch” served as the inspiration for this year’s theme.
“The events aim to foster positive relationships between parents and children and lessen the effects of separation,” a county press release said.
The events will take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Arlington County Detention Facility (1435 N. Courthouse Road). The fathers-only event takes place on Monday (Dec. 10), followed by the mothers-only event on Tuesday (Dec. 11).
The Sheriff’s Office plans to host similar events when summer comes along, according to the press release.
