DENVER — Norman Vasquez often has to choose between buying soap or calling his family while serving time at Colorado’s Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility.
He’s struggled to maintain relationships with his children while serving a 35-year sentence. Losing those connections has been the most difficult part of his incarceration, he said.
“I never thought I would lose the most important relationships in my life due to the fact that I cannot afford to call my children every day,” he said.
