With the large, over 1.5 million in 2014, population of adults incarcerated in the United States, there cannot be argument that families and children are being impacted. In my work with families over the last 20 years, I had never been asked, "How do I tell my kid I am going to jail?"
The links and resources below are related to talking to children about a parent's incarceration.
