"As the United States approaches its 50th year of mass incarceration, more children than ever before have experienced the incarceration of a parent. The vast majority of incarceration occurs in locally operated jails and disproportionately impacts families of color, those experiencing poverty, and rural households. However, we are only beginning to understand the various ways in which children cope with the incarceration of a parent - particularly the coping of young children who are most at risk for theadversity and also the most detrimentally impacted. When Are You Coming Home? helps answer questions about how young ones are faring when a parent is incarcerated in jail. Situated within a resilience model of development, the book presents findings related to children's stress, family relationships, health, home environments, and visit experiences through the eyes of the children and families. This humanizing, social justice-oriented approach discusses the paramount need to support children and their families before, during, and after a parent's incarceration while the country simultaneously grapples with strategies of reform and decarceration"--
This study for students, scholars, and practitioners offers insight on how young children cope with the stress of an incarcerated parent. Three experts in criminal justice and social work report on their research with 86 young children of incarcerated parents. Based on a resilience model of child development and a social justice approach, the study uses a mixed-method, multi-respondent design. Data were collected using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques including interviews with jailed parents and other family members, questionnaires, home visits, and observations of jail visits, plus reports from childrens teachers and childcare providers. Examples and vignettes are based on real-life cases, shedding light on parental arrest, family relationships, child health, home environments, forms of parent-child contact, and reintegration of incarcerated parents into the family. The authors make recommendations for interventions that support families and build resilience. The book includes appendices on study methods and measures, plus a glossary, b&w graphics, and color illustrations by children.

When Are You Coming Home? answers questions about how young children cope when parents go to jail. Told through the real stories of children, caregivers, and parents navigating parental incarceration, this book delves into the nuances that comprise childrens well-being and family relationships. In doing so, it calls out contextual vulnerabilities while emphasizing resilience processes that shape how children make sense of being separated from parents and await their likely reunification.
