I have spent weekends at my father’s prison instead of play dates, sports or academic competitions since I was nine. The experience left no visible scars but created indelible marks. Our family lost health insurance and savings accounts. My cholesterol skyrocketed as I pillaged food deserts for cheap sustenance. Social isolation intensified as friends and family ghosted us. Unlike the kindness and compassion I observed children receiving when a parent served in the military or faced severe illness, shame and stigma were my daily bread. Parental incarceration is the waste product of mass incarceration. It rips families apart, disproportionately hurts people in poverty, and costs taxpayers over $260 billion annually. While crime rates have remained relatively flat since the 1980s, America’s incarcerated population has increased by 500 percent. The U.S. is home to 25 percent of world prisoners, even though it comprises only 5 percent of the global population. Half of American prisoners are parents to children under 18, and a quintile is parents to minors under four. While parental incarceration affects one in 14 American children, most kids hide (or are unaware of) their parent’s imprisonment. It is a “silent American epidemic” more common than childhood asthma (5.3 million vs. 5.1 million). The American Academy of Pediatrics labels it an “adverse childhood experience” associated with negative health and well-being consequences.
