When a Parent Is in Prison - An Exhibit

 

"When a Parent is in Prison" explores the situation of children who have a parent in prison through their portraits and words.

 

The young people who are featured here are among the 2,400,000 children who have a mother or father in prison.

"These children have committed no crime, but the price they are forced to pay is steep. They forfeit, too, much of what matters to them: their homes, their safety, their public status and private self-image, their primary source of comfort and affection. Their lives are profoundly affected . . . "

―Nell Bernstein, All Alone in the World
