Reunification of Incarcerated Parents With Their Children and Families: Breaking The Barriers For A Successful Re-Entry

Most incarcerated men and women do not spend their entire lives in prison. Most will get out. They will be our neighbors, parents, clients, friends, customers, students, husbands, wives, sisters, brothers, sons, and daughters. Parental incarceration is traumatic for their children and family. With preparation, re-entry and a return to one's family and community can be met with great success; relationships can be re-built. Whereas, a lack of planning often results with a revolving door for future recidivism and increases inter-generational trauma and incarceration within the family. More parents, grandparents, and children visit their loved ones in prison. They are desperate for the inmate's release; yet fearful he or she will re-offend, and the revolving door process will begin again. Barriers to a successful re-entry can be eliminated when newly released inmates have a relationship with their family members. For many, about to be released from prison, their familial relationships have been fraught with palpable frustration, lack of trust, disappointment, and disconnection. There are many ways to bridge these connections. Reunification of Incarcerated Parents provides professionals and families a unique approach to breaking barriers and creating plans for successful re-entry to include self-advocacy, accountability, and predictability verses a re-entry of chaos and broken promises.
