A few things that support kids visiting incarcerated parents (most of them require no additional costs) -      Parents can be placed in facilities closer to families -      Free buses or improved transportation options -      Clear rules about entering facility. (Every family has a story of driving 5-10 hours only to be turned away due to some arbitrary rule or change of policy.) -      Treating visitor with basic human decency – which unfortunately often requires specialized training those processing families -      Family-friendly visiting areas. -      Expanding video visiting – but not at the expense of in-person visits. -      De-stigmatizing parental incarceration and supporting children in making the choice about when and how they want to keep in contact with incarcerated parents -      Avoiding unnecessary incarceration in the first place Another excerpt from a piece Echoes created for the Womens Justice Project about the closure of Bayview Prison.

Susan Magestro and Associates has begun a series of YouTube videos to discuss our experiences with the children of incarcerated parents. Please watch the first video in the series. Part One:    “Voices of Children of Incarcerated Parents” is a topic that no one is talking about yet it impacts more than 10 million children across the United States. Most of these children live with the secret that their parent(s) are incarcerated. Children of an incarcerated parent have unique characteristics. They are faced with tremendous trauma during various stages of their parent’s incarceration, probation, parole, as well as re-entry. Initially, the child has to find a way to understand or reconcile, within themselves, the crime their parent has committed. If the crime is infamous, the child sees the story of their parent’s crime over and over again in the media. In this early stage, many of these children try to handle themselves stoically as they walk by staff and students at school. They are well aware all those around them know about the crime their parent committed. If these children play sports, they wonder if their teammates or coaches are judging them for the crimes of the parent. If the child has a girlfriend, they worry, “Will she break up with me?” The child is often extremely distracted and pre-occupied during the course of their school day, questioning how their parent could have committed a crime. They wonder, “Why didn’t my parent think about me when they committed that crime?” They worry about their parent’s safety inside prison, and they worry about all the new stresses and challenges facing the family. These children have mixed emotions. They feel anger, sadness, confusion, betrayal, frustration, and exhaustion, to name just a few. Intrinsically, they feel anger within themselves for not being able to reconcile the turmoil of their mixed emotions. Who do they talk to about this? Most of the time, they keep their emotions and questions to themselves for fear of further upsetting their loved ones and creating even more stress in the house. What is the reason for this “code of secrecy” about the children of an incarcerated parent? Stay tuned to find out. This is the first of a series of six episodes that will be available over the coming months. “Through the Eyes of the Child” explores parental incarceration through the eyes of a child at various stages in their lives. https://lnkd.in/grJatUsx

It's a harsh reality that many individuals don't pick up a book or seek knowledge until they're already in jail. For some, incarceration becomes the first real opportunity to learn and reflect. But we can change that narrative by providing learning materials and resources to at-risk youth before they end up in the system. By investing in their education and development early on, we can empower them with the knowledge and skills needed to avoid a path of incarceration. Let's be proactive in offering opportunities for growth and learning to all youth. #YouthEmpowerment #EducationForAll #BreakingTheCycle

Is how we approach pretrial helping or a hindrance? $14 billion a year is spent holding people in jail who have not been found guilty of a crime. Pretrial incarceration costs individuals and their families almost $30,000 in lost income, causes 1/4 of incarcerated people to lose their homes, increases adverse case outcomes, and deteriorates the well-being of hundreds of thousands of Americans. This new report from The Bail Project, "Out of Pocket: The High Cost of Pretrial Incarceration" explores the financial and social costs of incarcerating people pretrial, quantifies the incredible toll our reliance on cash bail creates, and introduces the concept of needs-based interventions as a viable alternative. By investing in the health and well-being of our communities, and by implementing a needs-based approach to pretrial justice, we can reduce our reliance on incarceration. https://lnkd.in/emewh7yX #bailreform #advancingpretrial #criminaljustice #pretrialjustice #interventions
