Kristin Turney, Ph.D., a researcher from the University of California, Irvine, presented her findings at the 109th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association in San Francisco. She argues that having a parent in prison is independently associated with negative health outcomes for children. … “This study finds that, for at least some health conditions, there's a relationship between parental incarceration and children's health. But incarceration isn't equally related to all of children's health conditions,” said Turney.
