It has been estimated that approximately 1.5 million children have a parent in prison. However, this number misses those youth whose parent is in jail or has recently been released.
Parental incarceration is not a single event, but a process which begins with criminal activity, progresses through the arrest process, incarceration, and (usually) release. Additionally, incarceration does not signal the beginning of family distress, but usually exacerbates a life that may already be characterized by poverty, stress, and trauma.
This issue of The Prevention Researcher focuses on parental incarceration and reentry, and examines ways that we may assist youth through this difficult time.
