  3. What is the difference between jail and prison?

  4. Jail Prison A place of long time confinement Two types (State & Federal) Holds: people convicted of crimes, sentenced for a long term Jurisdiction: run by the Prisons and Corrections office Halfway houses, work release centers, and community restitution centers • A place of detention • Holds: people awaiting trial, sentenced for a short duration (less than a year) • Jurisdiction: run by the county sheriff’s department • Work release programs, boot camps • Address educational needs, substance abuse needs, and vocational needs

  5. Incarcerated Mothers • 75% of all female prison inmates are mothers • Of those women, 25% are pregnant at time of arrest • Two-thirds were primary caregivers • When a mother is sent to prison, she is likely to be the sole custodian of her children • Women who give birth in prison often have to relinquish custody within hours of giving birth. • Only 6 states have “prison nurseries”

  6. Effects on Children with Incarcerated Mother • More disruptive than a father’s arrest or incarceration • More than half of incarcerated mothers do not receive any visits from their children while in prison

  7. Incarcerated Fathers • Three-quarters of federal inmates in the United States are fathers • In 2007, 92% of incarcerated parents were fathers and 8% were mothers. • When a father becomes incarcerated his child support obligation continues at the same level, despite his inability to pay • While the vast majority of children of male prisoners are living with their mothers, only about a third (37%) of the children of incarcerated women are living with their fathers. • Children of most incarcerated males remain with the mother when a father enters prison

  8. Effects on a Child with Incarcerated Fathers • Half of incarcerated fathers were living with their youngest child prior to their incarceration • Sons are more likely to follow their father’s foot steps

  9. General Effects • Vulnerable to feeling of fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, depression, and guilt • Emotional withdrawal, failure in school, and delinquency • Suffer from multiple psychological problems • Traumatic, disrupt personal and family bonds, and worsen the family's social and financial situation • Depending on age of the child, effects differ • Children of offenders are five times more likely to end up in prison compared to their peers • Tends to lead to later criminal activity & drug possession • Children tend to blame themselves for parent’s incarceration • Only two states address the needs of children at the time of a parent’s arrest

  10. Juvenile Detention Centers • Secured facilities used to house youths that are in trouble with the law. • Youths awaiting trial or placement in another care facility are often placed in juvenile detention centers for security purposes. • Over 300,000 juveniles are incarcerated and another 100,000 return to these facilities to await legal action. • Provides education, nutrition, healthcare, and recreation to all inmates. • Overcrowding in these facilities causes tension • Increase bad behavior once youths are released • Troubled juveniles influence one another

  11. Incarcerated Siblings • Most commonly a male youth from a troubled home ends up in a juvenile detention center • Physically detached from the family & social environment • Older siblings become role models to his/her siblings • 35,000 children a year are affected by the incarceration of a sibling • Effects: Abandonment, distress, responsibility of being strong, and keeping quiet in school settings

  12. “Teachering” Suggestions • NEVER ASSUME! • Journal writing • Art and dance activities • Direct help • Guidance counselor • After school activities • Group projects • Teacher should be flexible, monitor progress, supportive, maintain high expectations & focus on the positives
