SOCI 005 : Child. of Incarcerated Parents

Critically analyze and challenge the effects of incarceration of minor and adult children who have experiences of parental imprisonment. Students will systematically review the natural history of parental incarceration, to include: arrest (entry into the criminal legal system), incarceration (physical and psychological separation, obstacles to visitation and contact), reentry (re-establishing parental relationships and dealing with changing household dynamics) and re-incarceration. This experiential learning course counts toward the requirements for the Social Justice Certificate.
