Research Children with incarcerated parents identified as most ‘at-risk’ population in US studies Resultant generational attachment difficulties and the externalisation of negative behaviours Frequent changes of caregivers within the Out of Home Care system (Smyth 2011) Only about one third (37%) had secure attachments (Poehlman 2003) compared to 60-70% in general population

Background Closure of the Mulawa Mothers and Children’s Unit in 1981 The NSW Department of Corrective Services ‘Women’s Action Plan’ 1994 Jacaranda Cottages opened in 1995 ‘Corrective Services recognises that offending and/or imprisonment are not evidence of a mother’s lack of desire, or ability to perform her parental duties. Corrective services recognises that continuity in the relationship between child and mother is critical to the child’s emotional, intellectual and social development.’
