This article is an exploratory study of the impact of maternal imprisonment on children and adolescents.
Using a comprehensive literature review and preliminary data collection the authors construct a developmental framework to examine the diverse impact of maternal imprisonment on children at differing stages of development. The article presents a number of observations relating to the impact of maternal imprisonment, outlining the implications of these findings and proposing a number of recommendations for improved policy and practice, and further research. Whilst the article is focused on Canada, the findings and implications remain relevant for the U.K.
