article titled, “Incarcerated Mothers and Fathers: How their Absences Disrupt Children’s High School Graduation” by Huynh-Hohnbaum, Bussell, and Lee (2015) details a great deal of research on how parental incarceration affects the children in regards to education. Lately, along with the entire justice system, parental incarceration has also been scrutinized for its effects on the children of incarcerated parents and how well they do in school as well as the other effects an incarcerated parent has on

Research Question: Are children of incarcerated parents more likely to be incarcerated as adults and are the current interventions/policies enough to combat intergenerational incarceration? The nation’s jail population is at an all-time high and this has raised a series of questions about the collateral effects it will have on children, families, and the community. The number of parents being incarcerated has increased dramatically and the privatization of this institution indicates that the number

the question: “How do children experience loss and trauma after their parents are incarcerated?” To find the answers to the question, I have developed three specific objectives: To explore experiences of ambiguous grief of children whose parents are incarcerated To explore experiences of disenfranchised grief of children whose parents are incarcerated To understand trauma experienced by children of incarcerated parents Significance of Research (400 words) a discussion of how your proposed research

Incarcerated Women Transitioning Into Society Women have been fighting for equal rights for decades. And, as of a result of this, have gained many equal rights. But are those rights just supposed to disappear when a woman gets incarcerated, and at what price does it cost that woman, to get her rights back, or does she ever get them back?

Others began this habit to cope with violence or abuse in their early childhood (Mallicoat, 2012). About half of the women who are incarcerated are in prison for some sort of drug offense; either for selling or for drug use. Introducing prevention programs, life skills training, mental health training, and other basic needs can help reduce the percentage of women going back to their habit

The alarming percentage of incarcerated minorities has brought about many questions and concerns in society today. Statistics show the percentage of incarcerated minorities to be higher in those who did not graduate from high school. It is also believed the law is more firm on minority races when it comes to sentencing. Drug sentencing disparities have proven and issue and a main reason for incarceration of the minority races.

suggests that the needs of incarcerated women have traditionally been ignored due to the tremendous percentages of incarcerated persons being men. While this may be true, women and men have issues that differ from one another and should be treated as separate issues.

It is almost as if the problems of incarcerated women are undetectable

In the US, the number of incarcerated people in the prison systems cumulatively will form the fourth largest city in the US by population. This serves to underline the importance of addressing the issues that affect the prisoners and the other employees of these correctional services. The first issue that is affecting the success of the correctional services provided by the prison services is the congestion in the prisons. Most of the prisons in the United States were built a long time ago and with

Effects on Children of Incarcerated Fathers Most of the prisons in America are overcrowded. They are overcrowded with men, most of which are fathers and nearly half of these incarcerated fathers were living with their child or children before going to prison. The effects on these children can be detrimental. This can also cause strained relationships with the mothers or other family members doing their best to take care of these children while their father is away. There can be social as well as
