More than 2.7 million children in America have a parent in prison.
When a parent is incarcerated it can be very difficult to explain
that to a child. This unique coloring book was created to serve as
a conversation starter between adults who plan to talk about
parental incarceration with affected children.
The Prison Alphabet allows each letter of the alphabet to serve as
a topic of discussion. By using the letters of the alphabet, this
book is a child-friendly approach to helping young children begin
to understand what is going on behind bars with their parent or
family member.
The motivation for this coloring book emerged from Dr. Bahiyyah M.
Muhammad's recognition that children with parents in prison have
many questions about what prison life is like. During her extensive
interviews with children of the incarcerated, children voiced their
curiosity and concern about the daily lives of their loved ones.
Specially developed books such as The Prison Alphabet can empower
children to gain a better understanding of the experience of their
loved ones behind bars, show children with parents in prison that
they are not alone, and provide resources for caretakers to use to
create opportunities to openly discuss the child's feelings and
help them cope with their parents' absence.
The Prison Alphabet is divided into two sections:
The first section is a coloring book and uses the letters of the
alphabet, from A thru Z, to explain in a child-friendly manner what
life is like inside a prison using terms associated with
incarceration.
The second section of the book contains a discussion guide to help
caretakers and counselors explain parental incarceration to a young
child by providing sample responses to children's commonly asked
questions about life inside prison.
The Prison Alphabet contains illustrations depicting ethnically
diverse characters and can therefore be used by any race or gender.
Furthermore, it provides opportunities to discuss maternal,
paternal and/or familial incarceration.
This is the first book in the Project Iron Kids series.
Established in 2013, Project Iron Kids is an initiative to increase
the number of books for children of the incarcerated.
