Abstract

Mass incarceration in the United States has resulted in a significant number of children experiencing parental incarceration, an experience that is tied to adverse child health. Providing children with developmentally appropriate information about parental incarceration has been found to contribute to improved well-being and attachment during incarceration; however, no work has examined how this information assists children after parents are released. This study aims to fill this gap by examining associations between children’s knowledge of parental incarceration and their socio-emotional well-being both during parents’ imprisonment and 6-months post-release.
