Les enfants sont les premières victimes de l'incarcération de leurs parents. En effet, cet emprisonnement consécutif à un délit, à un crime, parfois à une agression sur l'enfant lui-même, a pour conséquence de disloquer le cadre familial. Depuis une quinzaine d'années, des professionnels ont milité, notamment au sein des relais enfants-parents, pour que les enfants de parents incarcérés bénéficient du droit - reconnu dans la Convention internationale des droits de l'enfant - de vivre avec leurs parents. Ils ont mis en évidence les conséquences graves de la séparation parentale brutale pour le développement affectif, intellectuel, social de l'enfant. Cette réflexion s'est traduite concrètement par l'adoption de nouvelles mesures réglementaires et législatives, par l'adaptation des locaux et des pratiques professionnelles, par la création de protocoles d'accompagnement et bien d'autres avancées. Des questions restent cependant entières : faut-il maintenir les contacts entre l'enfant victime et son parent agresseur ? Quelle est la place de l'enfant de moins de 18 mois dans l'univers carcéral ? Les risques à le maintenir en détention sont-ils moindres que ceux résultant de la séparation maternelle brutale ? Dans cet ouvrage, des spécialistes dressent un état des lieux de la situation des enfants de parents incarcérés, en mettant en lumière aussi bien les difficultés rencontrées sur le terrain que les progrès réalisés dans la prise en compte de leur souffrance.

"Around one in five prisoners report the previous or current incarceration of a parent. Many such prisoners attest to the long-term negative effects of parental incarceration on one's own sense of self and on the range and quality of opportunities for building a conventional life. And yet, the problem of intergenerational incarceration has received only passing attention from academics, and virtually little if any consideration from policy makers and correctional officials. This book-the first of its kind-offers an in-depth examination of the causes, experiences and consequences of intergenerational incarceration. It draws extensively from surveys and interviews with second, third, fourth and fifth generation prisoners to explicate the personal, familial and socio-economic contexts typically associated with incarceration across generations. The book examines 1) the emergence of the prison as a dominant if not life-defining institution for some families, 2) the link between intergenerational trauma, crime and intergenerational incarceration, 3) the role of police, courts, and corrections in amplifying or ameliorating such problems, and 4) the possible means for preventing intergenerational incarceration. This is undeniably a book that bears witness to many tragic and traumatic stories. But it is also a work premised on the idea that knowing these stories-knowing that they often resist alignment with pre-conceived ideas about who prisoners are or who they might become-is part and parcel of advancing critical debate and, more importantly, of creating real change. The book will be of interest to students, academics and lay audiences"
