This can be a difficult and stressful time for the other spouse to go through, especially knowing you have to look after your child yourself without any support from their partner. This can also affect the spouse financially as she will have to financially provide for the child as well as herself. This can lead; to depression and other forms of destress. It is important that the child knows what has happened and where his father has gone. According to Dawson (2013) ‘Telling ‘the truth’ opens doors for further questions about prisons and creates a space to explore children’s wishes regarding parental contact and helps them deal with stigma.’ The types of issue a spouse may have at home could involve her to find a job as she will not be depending on her other half anymore. This could affect her dramatically as she may not be in the health to be working. It is important that relevant support is set for her to be supported as she may not feel able to talk to anyone.

Unfortunately, children who suffer from having an incarcerated parent are too often invisible to policy makers and social service organizations. Nature and Scope of Concern

    On June 11, 1962, three inmates at Alcatraz Federal Prison, Frank Morris, John Anglin, and Clarence Anglin, were found missing from their cells to the shock of the prison guards and the world. After escaping the prison, they vanished nearly without a trace. Because they have not been seen or heard from since, most assumed they perished in the incredible escape attempt. However, after the combination of fifty years’ worth of evidence and a recent cooperation of the escapees’ family members with the FBI, new light has been shed on the case that many once considered cold. Using the evidence available, it can be concluded that the three prisoners successfully escaped from Alcatraz and survived.

    Many children lose both of their parents every year to their parents being incarcerated. There are programs in the prison designed to mothers and fathers who can still be a parent from inside the prison. Families affected by parental incarceration face many challenges: separation, stigmatization, disruption in the home environment, and the loss of family income. These challenges have been associated with negative outcomes for children, including poor parental bonding, and internalizing and externalizing, and low school achievement. It is sad to say but only 10% of the fathers participate in the parenting classes.

  • Incarcerated Parents: A Case Study

    (Sameroff, Seifer, Baldwin, & Baldwin, 1993; Sameroff et al., 1998), as well as others (Rutter, 1979; Rutter & Giller, 1983), have identified several contextual sociodemographic risk factors that place all children at risk for such negative outcomes as academic failure and externalizing behaviors” (p. 441). More importantly Dallaire, (2007) further states that, “These contextual risk factors include mother's lack of education, being from a single parent home, being in a large family, being an ethnic minority, and having a parent with a mental illness (Rutter; Rutter & Giller; Sameroffet al., 1993, 1998). Many of these contextual risk factors may be present in the lives of children and families before, during, and after a parent's incarceration” (p. 441). Which can be easily interpreted that children with incarcerated parents carry adverse childhood experience (ACE’s) that inhibits the child from properly developing mentally and that these risk factors are a major barrier for this at-risk population to cope with every day situation which places them at risk both behaviorally and educationally. Another example according to Smith & Young (2017), “Also children of incarcerated parents suffer from a variety of physical and social issues such as migraines, depression,

  • Family Incarceration

    The interview included a series of questions assessing what barriers, if any, individuals faced in having contact with their family and friends, including prison or jail located too far away for regular visits; visitation rules were hard to comply with; prison or state jail was not a pleasant place to visit; lack of transportation; cost of visiting was too high; did not have access to a phone; either my family members or I had difficulty reading or writing; or some other reason. To capture how the influence of barriers to visitation related to changes in family relationships over time, researchers summed each measure to create an index, which represented the overall number of barriers presented to the individual that reduced or stopped family visitation. This index had a mean of .998, with a SD of 1.12, and a range of 0 (no barriers to visitation reported) to 7. Researchers noted this measure could have ranged to 8, but no respondent reported that all eight dimensions presented barriers to family

Bogans has an explicit thesis in the conclusion “Child visitation must be increased in order to alleviate the psychological strains that take place during incarceration” (15).
