Supporting Parents and Children During Incarceration: Evaluation of the Parenting Inside Out Program in Wisconsin.
This brief examines the implementation and evaluation of Parenting Inside Out (PIO-90), an evidence-based program introduced in four Wisconsin prisons through a partnership between the Wisconsin Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board (CANPB), UW-Madison researchers, and the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WI DOC).
Incarceration, Child Support, and Family Relationships
In this report, we examine how incarceration among non-custodial fathers may shape their involvement with their non-resident children—both relationally and financially—and how these associations may differ for White and Black fathers. We also assess the differential impacts of incarceration’s timing and length on our outcomes of interest.
