This dissertation explores the epidemic of African American incarceration and the devastating effects that are experienced by the children and families of those incarcerated. The nation's prison and jail populations continue to grow at alarming rates. African Americans comprise roughly 12% of the population, but represent nearly half of those in jail or prison. According the Justice Departments Bureau of Justice Statistics almost 1.5 million minor children had parents in federal or state prison in 1999. Most of these children were under the age of 10 and African American. In order to address the needs of the children and families of the incarcerated, and disrupt the cycle of intergenerational crime, I have advocated for a family therapeutic intervention model to be instituted in America's jails.

520 $a This dissertation explores the epidemic of African American incarceration and the devastating effects that are experienced by the children and families of those incarcerated. The nation's prison and jail populations continue to grow at alarming rates. African Americans comprise roughly 12% of the population, but represent nearly half of those in jail or prison. According the Justice Departments Bureau of Justice Statistics almost 1.5 million minor children had parents in federal or state prison in 1999. Most of these children were under the age of 10 and African American. In order to address the needs of the children and families of the incarcerated, and disrupt the cycle of intergenerational crime, I have advocated for a family therapeutic intervention model to be instituted in America's jails.
520 $a Intergenerational crime and imprisonment are harsh realities facing children with incarcerated parents. Children of offenders are five times more likely than their peers to be incarcerated. One in 10 children will have been incarcerated before reaching adulthood. Sociological and criminological theorists have found that the trauma of parental incarceration may have social, emotional, and economic implications passed on to the children and families, the innocent victims of incarceration. As each successive generation becomes habituated into the social discourses of criminalization, intergenerational crime will become normalized to the detriment of children, their families, and the society at large.
520 $a In this paper, a multidimensional therapeutic approach, focusing on the needs of the inmate and their family members, is regarded as vital for families in the process of returning to a semblance of normality and functioning after the trauma of incarceration. Jails provide an opportunity to reach families early in the criminal justice process. The family is conspicuously absent from strategies of rehabilitation in the American jail system. Family interventions may well be the missing link to a more supportive transition out of incarceration, the reduction of recidivism rates, entrance back into a strengthened family unit, and to prevent the cycle of intergenerational crime. The multidimensional therapeutic approach I have advocated for will be illuminated through a story that carefully includes the research from this dissertation to make a compelling case for the necessity of family involvement during the process of rehabilitation.
