In this blog, we are discussing children with parents in prison, and the emotional cost this can have on a child, as well as parental perspectives of being in prison. We have also looked at services and support systems that are accessible for the children and guardians that are affected.

We would like to raise awareness on this delicate topic, to reduce the stigma of prison culture and highlight the ripple effects of imprisonment. Although policy, practice, education, and the media are beginning to give the needed attention to prisoners and their families, it is not spoken or regarded as much as it should be. We are hoping that this blog will inspire and motivate those responsible for the wellbeing of children and families who are affected by imprisonment.
