Topics featured in this handbook include: Findings from the Fragile Families and Child Wellbeing Study. How parental incarceration contributes to racial and ethnic disparities and inequality. Parent-child visits when parents are incarcerated in prison or jail. Approaches to empowering incarcerated parents of color and their families.

Download or read book Children with Parents in Prison written by Creasie Hairston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adults are being incarcerated in the United States at an ever-escalating rate, and child welfare professionals are encountering growing numbers of children who have parents in prison. Current estimates indicate that as many as 1.5 million children have an incarcerated parent; many thousands of others have experienced the incarceration of a parent at some point in their lives. These vulnerable children face unique difficulties, and their growing numbers and special needs demand attention.Existing literature indicates that children whose parents are incarcerated experience a variety of negative consequences, particularly in terms of their emotional health and well being. They also may have difficult interactions or limited contact with their parents. There are also issues connected with their physical care and child custody. The many challenges facing the child welfare system as it attempts to work with this population are explored in Children with Parents in Prison. Topics covered include: ""Supporting Families and Children of Mothers in Jail""; ""Meeting the Challenge of Permanency Planning for Children with Incarcerated Mothers""; ""The Impact of Changing Public Policy on Relatives Caring for Children with Incarcerated Parents""; ""Legal Issues and Recommendations""; ""Facilitating Parent-Child Contact in Correctional Settings""; ""Earning Trust from Youths with None to Spare""; ""Developing Quality Services for Offenders and Families""; and in closing, ""Understanding the Forces that Influence Incarcerated Fathers' Relationships with Their Children.""Children and families have long struggled with the difficulties created when a parent goes to prison. What is new is the magnitude of the problem. This volume calls for increased public awareness of the impact of parental incarceration on children. Its goal is to stimulate discussion about how to best meet the special needs of these children and families and how to provide a resource for the child welfare community as it responds to

Book Synopsis Laws on Children Residing with Parents in Prison by : The Law The Law Library of Congress
Download or read book Laws on Children Residing with Parents in Prison written by The Law The Law Library of Congress and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-01-16 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides information on select international and regional measures (Part II) and the laws of ninety-seven jurisdictions from around the world (Part III) that relate to allowing children to reside in prison with an incarcerated parent. The report also provides information on the number of children residing in prison with a parent in various countries, where such information was available. The final section of the report includes a bibliography with additional sources (Part IV). Over the last decade, efforts have escalated at the international level to create policies specifically geared towards addressing the situation of the young children of incarcerated parents. Some measures seek to ameliorate the treatment of pregnant women, nursing mothers, and mothers with children; others seek to encourage the provision of better conditions, such as nurseries and kindergartens and specially trained staff, for the children; still others try to promote better hygiene and a better environment in general. There have also been trends urging the incarceration of mothers only as a last resort and that fathers' needs to be with their young children be taken into account. The discussion in Part II below highlights key international measures that address the issues surrounding children residing in prison with an incarcerated parent. The list of international documents reviewed is not exhaustive, and includes major United Nations and European acts addressing mainly the well-being of children and women in prison. Most of the countries surveyed in Part III impose specific age limits for a child's admission into and length of stay in prison. However, some use different or additional markers (such as a breastfeeding period or an assessment of the best interests of the child) for making such determinations. In addition, many of the countries surveyed permit children to actually live with the parent in jail, whether or not in special facilities, whereas a few put eligible children in prison child care facilities with the parent having regular access to the child. Finally, some surveyed countries, in addition to admitting children to prison to live with an incarcerated parent, utilize alternatives to custodial sentences, including deferment of a custodial sentence and home confinement, when dealing with a person who has a young child. Most of jurisdictions surveyed require that prisons that admit children meet certain standards. These range from making available basic necessities including additional food, special diets, and access to medical care, to having child care services and special residential units available for incarcerated mothers with children. However, some jurisdictions do not provide extensive services for children residing in prison.
Book Synopsis Children’s Contact with Incarcerated Parents by : Julie Poehlmann-Tynan
Download or read book Children’s Contact with Incarcerated Parents written by Julie Poehlmann-Tynan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief explores the potential effects of parent-child contact during incarceration on child and adult relationships, well-being, and parenting as well as corrections-related issues, such as institutional behavior and recidivism. It presents a literature review on what is currently known about parent-child contact during parental incarceration in addition to several empirical studies, followed by a summary, commentary, and briefing report. The empirical studies focus on contact in both jail and prison settings. Because jails in the United States handle more admissions per year than prisons – and studies of jailed parents and their children are not common in the literature – two of the three studies presented focus on jails. Following the empirical studies, a summary that includes recommendations for policy and intervention is presented, along with a commentary that explores what researchers need to do to make effective policy recommendations. This Brief is an essential resource for policy makers and related professionals, graduate students, and researchers in child and school psychology, family studies, public health, social work, law/criminal justice, and sociology.
