Room: National Harbor 3 With over two million children affected by the incarceration of a parent, we will explore how corrections professionals, non-profits and stakeholders can work together. By working together, we can help the incarcerated parent build or rebuild the ever-so-important child-parent bond. This can and does help reduce the recidivism rate. This can also help in keeping these children from being part of the next generation of incarcerated people. The topic of reentry into a family is an important element of criminal justice policy, those who maintain family ties are less likely to be rearrested. (Petersilia 2003) Learning Objectives: • Understand the pre-incarceration demographics of families. • Understand the risk/trauma/challenges to children of incarcerated parents. • The importance of building/maintaining the parental bond and how The Messages Project contributes to that bond.
