ADVANCES IN CHILD AND FAMILY POLICY AND PRACTIC...

This Brief explores the potential effects of parent-child contact during incarceration on child
and adult relationships  well-being  and parenting as well as corrections-related issues  such
as institutional behavior and recidivism. It presents a literature review on what is currently
known about parent-child contact during parental incarceration in addition to several empirical
studies  followed by a summary  commentary  and briefing report. The empirical studies focus on
contact in both jail and prison settings. Because jails in the United States handle more
admissions per year than prisons - and studies of jailed parents and their children are not
common in the literature - two of the three studies presented focus on jails. Following the
empirical studies  a summary that includes recommendations for policy and intervention is
presented  along with a commentary that explores what researchers need to do to make effective
policy recommendations. This Brief is an essential resource for policy makers and related
professionals  graduate students  and researchers in child and school psychology  family
studies  public health  social work  law criminal justice  and sociology.
