Parenting Behind Bars

The majority of prisoners in the United States are parents, leaving more than 7 million children with a parent involved in the correctional system. When a parent is in prison, the impact on family and community is profound. This session will focus on creative solutions for: children left behind, partners and extended family members caring for inmates’ children, and communities faced with integrating returning parents.
