Always Parenting Resources

Why Always Parenting?

Being separated from a parent due to incarceration often causes a multitude of negative effects on children’s lives.

  • Children of incarcerated parents have been found to be up to 5 times more likely to enter the criminal justice system compared to children who do not have an incarcerated parent.
  • Always Parenting is here to prevent this outcome.
