This book highlights the myriad factors that can impact the
children of incarcerated parents. It is no secret that the United
States continues to be the leading nation for the incarceration of
men and women, and this this large prison population includes
approximately 120,000 incarcerated mothers and 1.1 million
incarcerated fathers. Incarceration of a parent is recognized as an
'adverse childhood experience', an acute or chronic situation that
for most people is stressful and potentially traumatic. Children of
incarcerated parents may experience other adverse childhood
experiences such as poverty, homelessness, parental substance abuse
and other mental health problems, and family violence. The chapters
in this book document some of the challenges as well as some
promising ways that can help parents and families begin to meet
these challenges. It is our hope that the compendium of chapters
presented in this book will be a resource for practitioners, policy
makers, educators, researchers, and advocates in their work to
ensure that the children of incarcerated parents, their caregivers,
and their mothers and fathers, are provided the support they need
to address the challenges they face during and after parental
incarceration. This book was originally published as a special
issue of Smith College Studies in Social Work.
