This Brief focuses on children with incarcerated mothers, a growing and vulnerable population. It presents five empirical studies, along with an introduction and summary chapter. The five empirical chapters examine new qualitative and quantitative data on:

  • Typical occurrences when pregnant women give birth during incarceration in contrast with the benefits of a prison doula program for mothers and newborns.
    • A mother's criminal justice involvement for substance abuse crimes and its effects on children's protective services involvement and foster care placement.
  • How children cope with separation from their mothers because of their incarceration and how that separation continues to affect children's lives following family reunification.
  • Differences in recidivism trajectories between mothers and nonmothers during the 10 years following release from incarceration.
  • Alternatives to incarceration for women in residential drug treatment and how community supervision mandates can affect, contribute to, or extend mother-child separation.
The final chapter integrates the information from the empirical studies and summarizes implications for policy and practice.
