Description
Millions of children in the United States have a parent who is incarcerated and a growing number of these nurturers are mothers. This book explores the issues that arise from a mother's confinement and provides first-person accounts of the experiences of children with moms behind bars. Here the author offers a perspective that recognizes differences over the long course of a family's interaction with the criminal justice system. Presenting a view into the children's lives both before and after their mothers are imprisoned, this book reveals the many challenges they face from the moment such a critical caregiver is arrested to the time she returns home from prison. Based on interviews with nearly seventy youngsters and their mothers conducted at different points of their parent's involvement in the process, the rich qualitative data reveals the lived experiences of prisoners' children, telling their stories in their own words. The author places the mother's incarceration in context with other aspects of the youths' experiences, including their family life and social worlds, and provides a unique opportunity to hear the voices of a group that has been largely silent until now. -- From publisher's website.
