Preferred term

incarcerated parents  

Definition(s)

  • The United States has the largest incarcerated population in the world, and this number continues to grow with unprecedented increases in women's incarceration, disproportionate imprisonment rates for women and men of color, and high recidivism rates. Most of these 2.2 million incarcerated U.S. residents are parents—mothers and fathers held in U.S. jails and prisons who typically have one or more children under the age of 18.
