Children of incarcerated parents
The number of children with mothers in prison has doubled during the last 17 years, according to a 2007 report ran by the Bureau of Justice Statistic (BJS). Mainly, Black and Hispanic children are part of the 1.7 million children whose parents are incarcerated. Sleep disorders and behavioural problems tend to be present on children with mothers in prison.

Moreover, a study ran by Child Welfare Services (CWS) concludes that the likelihood of being in a vulnerable situation is higher among children whose parents are behind the bars than other children treated by CWS.
