ABSTRACT
The incarceration of women who are mothers affects not only the women, but their children and families. The children are at high risk developmentally, psychologically, emotionally, and economically. This article identifies concerns and interventions for the children, families, and incarcerated women. Risk factors, as well as resiliency factors, are recognized, framing the intervention work needed to support optimal growth, development, and mental well-being of the children and families of incarcerated mothers. doi:10.1300/J015v29n03_09 [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
