Editors’ Note: Previous issues of DifferenTakes have examined how the prison-industrial complex serves as a form of population control and violates reproductive freedom. (See, for example, Ten Reasons Why Prisons are Bad for Reproductive Freedom.) In the following, activists Alicia Jay and Tina Reynolds explore how children are severely affected by parental incarceration and present positive ways the prison abolition movement can respond to support healthy families.
