“…In order to compare rates of juvenile criminal activity between first and second generation offenders, Will et al (2014) conducted a study that found second generation offenders more than doubled rates of violent, nonviolent and drug related activity as well as stints of juvenile detention (p. 200). These findings were more noticeable in males than in females.…”

While incarceration rates have been increasing, conversations and knowledge on children with incarcerated parents have not. Children, like their parents, undergo challenges and serious adaptations when they lose their guardian to the criminal justice system. Studies done on children of incarcerated adults show the disproportionate impact on racialized and marginalized populations within Canada, as well as the economic consequences that follow. Due to various factors that unravel during these children's lives, they face more social risks than many other individuals developing at the same time under separate circumstances.

“…They suffer from higher rates of depression and other types of mental illness when compared to male prisoners (Jasperson, 2010; Keaveny & Zauszniewski, 1999). Their children also suffer from many issues including depression, social exclusion, family instability, anxiety, substance use, law violating behavior, conduct disorder, antisocial behavior, poor educational attainment, educational underperformance, school failure, mental health issues, limited future income, physical ailments, and unhealthy intimate relationships (Aaron & Dallaire, 2010; Christain, 2009; Mears & Siennick, 2016; Miller & Barnes, 2015; Will et al, 2014). Such families are typically in poverty prior to their mother’s incarceration (Miller & Barnes, 2015), which only worsens during their mother’s incarceration (Kjellstrand & Eddy, 2011).…”

While mothers are incarcerated, the disruption to the bond with their children places both at risk for emotional and behavioral problems. Parenting skills education can help to restore these bonds. Utilizing a pre- and posttest quasi-experimental design, we evaluated the effects of an evidence-based parenting program on females housed in a federal jail managed by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Findings indicate statistically significant decreases in depression, parental stress, and anxiety, and increased self-esteem. Participants also had increased contact with their children and reported more confidence in their parenting skills. Results imply that programs developed for women that enhance parenting skills and improve relationships with their children and/or children’s caregivers are important jail-based interventions.

“…In addition to stigmatization, as the labeling theory suggests, if a child has been labeled a deviant because of an incarcerated parent, this may lead them to later follow in their parent's footsteps to become a second-generation offender. Loper, Whalen, and Will (2014) interviewed first-generation and second-generation offenders and found that second-generation offenders reported more conduct disorders prior to age fifteen than did first-generation offenders. They also found that second-generation offenders reported having had more childhood and familial adversities such as abuse, and exposure to domestic violence which likely pushed them toward early delinquent behaviour.…”

The objective of this paper is to provide a qualitative analysis of the effects incarceration has on family members. Incarceration affects a very large number of families in the United States and Canada, especially since the mass incarceration between the 1970s and 2000s that occurred in the United States. Incarceration was found to have both negative effects on incarcerated mothers and fathers, and it was found to increase the risk of divorce. Children were also affected by parental incarceration by raising their risks of developing mental illness, engaging in delinquent behaviour, having negative social experiences and damaging their parent-child relationship. Moreover, parental incarceration had little to no effect on a child’s academic performance and it displayed the child’s resiliency. Lastly, incarceration had negative effects on a family’s socioeconomic status and it increased the risk of second-generation offenders.
