abstract="To estimate the number of parents in state prisons in Minnesota, 2,242 adults completed a brief survey. More than two thirds reported having minor children. More women than men reported being a parent; over half reported living with their children before arrest. In a multivariate model, parent gender, residing with children pre-incarceration, and child age predicted interest in parenting programming. The current study yielded a higher prevalence of parental incarceration than national and other state estimates. <br><br>FINDINGS underscore the importance of documenting the prevalence of parents in prison and identifying programs and policies to address their needs.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
