Deanna Cox learned too well the financial burden of our country’s correctional system out of her son’s anguished personal story. From $4/minute phone calls, pricey food, snacks and toiletries, the bills rack up quickly for families who want to stay connected, and help, their incarcerated relatives.

On today’s Buzz4Good, creator Michael Hemphill shares Deanna’s commitment to helping other families thorough her nonprofit, Inmate Family Assistance of the New River Valley.

We also share some of our newest BUZZ television show starring Roanoke City Public Schools arts program. And we look ahead to the February 7 fundraiser for Christiansburg Institute where we’ll present our 2-part episode on the storied school.
