Importance of Support System to Mitigate the Adversity of Parental Incarceration

Author(s) Ms. Ayush Priya, Ms. Stuti Sawarn
Country India
Abstract The role of parents in children’s lives can’t be neglected. They are the guiding light for the children as they teach them how to live in a civilized society confidently. From parents, a child has a sense of belonging, which incarceration disrupts. It has been said that justice is punishing the guilty, but the cost of justice is also faced by innocents; children become the “victim of the justice.” This paper delves into the hardships faced by the children whose parents are in prison and highlights how these hardships vary in the different developmental stages depending upon the child’s age and his emotional quotient. This paper explores how the incarceration of parents affects the physical and mental health of the children in India mostly living outside the prison. These children are more prone to getting antisocial behaviour. Thus, there is a need for a support system to keep these children in the mainstream. The main objective of our paper is to show the importance of support systems to lessen these hardships by establishing connection, building trust, increasing positive influence, and helping with the basic necessities of life. The support system that works for child’s development can either be formal or informal. Former includes NGOs, governmental policies, or childcare institutions, and later includes child carers/mentors, other family members, and communities, which help the child by understanding their complexities. Lastly, this paper concludes that if the formal and informal support systems work together, they will create a healthy environment for the children.
