The Impact on Children of a Parent’s Incarceration

Chris Engel 10/9/127:30 PM

"More American children than ever are experiencing life with at least one parent behind bars, with estimates ranging from 1.7 to 2.7 million children affected on any given day. The Pew Charitable Trusts reported in 2010 that one in every 28 children in the U.S. has a parent behind bars, up from one in 125 just 25 years earlier. That’s an average of about one child in every classroom across the country."
