Children of Incarcerated Parents: An Action Plan for Federal Policymakers (including, Responses to Children during a Parent's Arrest; and Support for Kinship Caregivers of Children Whose Parents Are Incarcerated).

This action plan reviews both federal and state barriers to identifying and serving children of incarcerated parents, and offers policy recommendations for the U.S. Congress and the Administration. The action plan is designed to help federal leaders improve policies for children of incarcerated parents, but also includes recommendations of value to states and local governments that can facilitate and complement federal initiatives and result in better responses to this population.
