Report on Parental Incarceration and Child Wellbeing

The Osborne Association's New York Initiative for Children of Incarcerated Parents and the John Jay College Prisoner Reentry Institute have released a new report, Parental Incarceration and Child Wellbeing, that summarizes numerous quantitative research articles on this issue. The report offers a practical opportunity to learn from literature and existing research to better grasp the full impact of incarceration on children and families. It includes an examination of both paternal and maternal incarceration; the consequences of incarceration on children, adolescents, and young adults; and the consequences of incarceration on family structure and functioning. It also lists additional reading, including qualitative research on the topic.
