Incarceration

Introduction

On any given day, there are an estimated 2.7 million children in the United States with at least one parent in prison or jail.

Although Minnesota does not yet systematically collect information about incarcerated parents and their children, based on the national statistic, it is estimated that at least 10,000 children in Minnesota have a parent currently in prison or jail.
