NCCWE Information Pack: Impact of Parental Incarceration and Child Welfare by Stephanie Rosado.
The increase in number of children who have been separated from their parents, specifically mothers, by the criminal justice system can be potentially harmful to children and make them more vulnerable to risk factors like anger, depression, anxiety, attention and sleep disorders that can contribute to behavior problems and even juvenile delinquency as they get closer to adult years. Children with mothers involved in the criminal justice system, in particular, are at greater risk for maladjustment and behavioral issues. It is also important to note that “children who live in stable household with nurturing caregivers during their parents’ incarceration are likely to fare better than children who experience family instability as a result of parents’ confinement”. Children in foster care are at risk of loosing connections to extended families, incarcerated parents, siblings, friends and schools. This dramatic shift within the U.S. prison system and the impact it has in the lives of so many children, mothers and families needs to be further examined.
