Effects of long-distance parental incarceration on kids
These 4,500 to 8,500 children experience the trauma of parent-child separation accompanied by tremendous shame and social stigma. Children with incarcerated parents may display aggression, defiance, depression, withdrawal, developmental regression, and poor academic performance. Some children see their parents arrested in front of them, some children have come home to an empty house, and 25 percent are in foster care.
