How do we address both the needs of children and their incarcerated parents? How do we keep parents from recidivating? What happens to children when their parents fall back into the system? Recent studies show that approximately 5 million children (or 1 in 14) have a parent who has experienced incarceration. And the number is more staggering for 1 in 8 economically disadvantaged children and 1 in 9 African American children. These children feel both a stigma of having an incarcerated parent and they miss their parent. They need extra support to navigate their education pathways and their social emotional experiences. But, what about the incarcerated parent? What programs or services can they turn to help them become participating parents in their children’s education? One place incarcerated parents can go is to the Office of Reentry Services. We have a conversation with Chad Martens the Program Manager at the Office of Reentry Services in Santa Clara County, CA. We get Chad’s personal perspectives on the “one-stop-shop” approach to providing reentry services for clients on probation. And through our conversation we discuss solutions based approaches to changing the recidivism rate through supportive reentry programs. Special thanks to our graphic artist, Tess Buckley.
