The Impact of Parenting Classes on Incarcerated Mothers
Phillips, Kimberly; Kwon, Kyong-Ah
Journal of Prison Education and Reentry, v7 n3 p230-245 2022
With growing public attention to the problem of mass incarceration, many individuals want to know about the vast rise in women's incarceration rates; particularly concerning, the increase of mothers in prison. For many mothers, the only source of hope and motivation they have while involved in the criminal justice system is the connection with their children. This article demonstrates that educational programs focusing on parenting can help incarcerated mothers renew their parental role upon release from prison. The target audience for this article includes, but is not limited to, correctional facility administrators, family counselors, educators, and anyone with an interest in parenting after prison. This article can also serve as a platform to advocate for quality parenting classes for incarcerated mothers.
