Some other organizations that might help you. I'm including the phone numbers too with the mailing addresses.
The National Center for Fathering is the same organization that hosts WATCH D.O.G.S., but I think they're more open to providing parenting tips.
National Center for Fathering 1600 West Sunset Ave., Ste B Springdale, AR 72762 phone number: 1-800-593-DADS (3237)
The National Fatherhood Initiative is open to helping fathers in prison. Tell them your story and ask about their Corrections Fatherhood Programs:
National Fatherhood Initiative 12410 Milestone Center Drive, Suite 600 Germantown, MD 20876 phone number: 301-948-0599
Most organizations for parenting are local, aimed towards helping younger children, or require a fee (maybe). You could try reaching out to the Pennsylvania Prison Society and ask about their parenting program.
The Pennsylvania Prison Society 245 N. Broad St., Suite 200 Philadelphia, PA 19107 phone number: 215-564-4775
Well, I don't know who you're writing about. Yourself or another guy? But anyways, I just wanted to say this: I think being softhearted and kind in a cruel world is tougher as being the "real tough guy". :) (Having a soft heart in a cruel world is courage, not weakness. <-- I really really like that quote)
I am writing to let you know about Prison Action News, a biannual journal of prisoners' stories of resistance to incarceration. Written by prisoners and edited and distributed by outside volunteers, PAN has about 1,600 incarcerated subscribers across the US. It is a great outlet to both read and publish stories about fighting exorbitant phone prices, or any other oppressive aspect of prison life. If you would like a free subscription to PAN, write to:

this is a late answer, sorry for that. I am not in the States, and don't have the (time) capacity to do research.
Have a good day,
Julia
Hope all is well
