Through Transition Mediation, Community Mediation Baltimore provides mediation to individuals in the Chesapeake Detention Center before they are sentenced. When sentenced, individuals detained in this facility will serve time in a federal facility, often in another state. Mediation gives these individuals and their family members a chance to work through conflicts and jointly plan how they will maintain a positive relationship during the incarceration. Most of the mediation participants come from the fatherhood program and the conversation is often about how they will maintain their roles as fathers while incarcerated in a facility far from their children.
