Prison Bus Program Saves Families | Philadelphia News

Pennsylvania’s state budget just saved a vital prison bus program with a $600,000 lifeline—keeping families connected to incarcerated loved ones across state prisons. Resuming every other month, the service will soon expand to Pittsburgh, opening access for thousands in Western PA. Without this funding, the program risked total shutdown. These buses aren’t just convenient—they’re critical: strong family ties reduce recidivism, and for many, this is the only way to stay close during long, lonely sentences.
