On any given day, an estimated 16,000 Minnesota children have a parent in prison; thousands more have a parent incarcerated in a local jail. Parental incarceration is a powerful adverse childhood experience. Evidence suggests that one in six Minnesota youth reports a history of parental incarceration. Parent incarceration dramatically increases risks of poor school attendance, school discipline problems, lower grades, school disconnection, substance use, and mental health problems. Supporting the parent-child relationship is a key strategy for fostering resilience in children affected by incarceration. Thanks to the Minnesota Legislature, and continued funding through the Department of Justice, the Minnesota Department of Health and the University of Minnesota have expanded a pilot program to 14 counties across Minnesota to help children impacted by parent incarceration. The model jail practices learning community brings together local jails and community partners to learn best practices, share resources, and reflect on how parental incarceration impacts children in their counties. With the support of the Minnesota Sherriff’s Association, work continues with county jails in Carlton, Olmsted, Ramsey, Renville, Stearns, and Sherburne, and has launched in Brown, McLeod, Nicollet, Todd, Hennepin, St. Louis, Crow Wing, and Scott County facilities.Learn about a range of strategies underway within the model jail practices learning community which are critical for healthy child development, including some zero-cost changes and long-term policy changes such as child-preferred visiting hours that counties can make to help strengthen and maintain the parent-child relationship.
