Children of the Prison Boom: Mass Incarceration and the Future of American Inequality - Studies in Crime and Public Policy
Wakefield, Sara (Assistant Professor, Assistant Professor, School of Criminal Justice, Rutgers University)
Children of the Prison Boom describes the devastating effects of America's experiment in mass incarceration for a generation of vulnerable children. Wakefield and Wildeman find that parental imprisonment leads to increased mental health and behavioral problems, infant mortality, and child homelessness which translate into large-scale increases in racial inequality.
