Disrupted Childhoods: Children of Women in Prison

Using real accounts of children with mothers in prison, this book from the US explores some of the real issues for both the child and mother who experience separation amongst many other issues. Real life cases are revealed in over 70 interviews, which portray the real experiences of many families, in their own words. The book explores many of the challenges posed when the primary caregiver is away from home, from arrest through to release and resettlement.
