    DIFFERENCES AND THE CUMULATIVE RISK OF PARENTAL IMPRISONMENT

    The dramatic increase in incarceration rates since long ago has stimulated
    widespread interest in how this trend is affecting families and children. As
    incarceration rates increased, more families and children had direct
    experience with imprisonment of a parent. While the consequences for
    families and children can be expected to vary by race and ethnicity, much of
    the research does not distinguish outcomes by these characteristics. There
    are many empirical evidences on the consequences of incarceration for
    family behavior and child well-being. Incarceration of men is focused more
    on because it is more common than that of women and is the subject of the
    bulk of the available research. The literature on men’s incarceration is large
    and includes ethnographic studies as well.

    Most studies find that incarceration is associated with weaker family bonds
    and lower levels of child well-being. Men with a history of incarceration are
    less likely to marry or cohabit and more likely to form unstable
    partnerships than those who have never been incarcerated, and children of
    incarcerated fathers tend to exhibit more problems in childhood and
    adolescence. The picture is not entirely negative, however. There is
    evidence from at least one state, for example, that increased rates of
    incarceration are associated with lower rates of nonmarital childbearing.
    Moreover, some studies find that the negative association between
    incarceration and family outcomes is limited to families in which the father
    was living with the family prior to imprisonment. Finally, there is evidence
    that in cases in which a father is violent, incarceration may actually
    improve his family’s well-being. The few studies that have examined the
    consequences for children of incarcerated mothers tend to focus on
    separation from children and housing stability. These studies often find
    persistent disadvantage in terms of poor.
