  • Title: Children with parents in prison: child welfare policy, program, and practice issues.
    Author: Seymour C.
    Journal: Child Welfare; 1998; 77(5):469-93. PubMed ID: 9744069.
    Abstract:
    As the rate at which adults are being incarcerated in the United States escalates, 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. Challenges facing the child welfare system as it attempts to work with this population are explored.
