Children in Front of the Bars

Carolus Van Nijnatten

Department of General Social Sciences, University of Utrecht, P.O. Box 80140, 3508 TC Utrecht, the Netherlands

In 1993 a counselling project was initiated in the Netherlands for the children of prisoners. These children were introduced to mentors (volunteers) with whom they would regularly undertake recreational activities. It was assumed that shared activities would free these children of their isolation and provide positive role models. Extra opportunities to visit their parents in prison were planned In this article, the progress of this project and results will be given. Following a description of the project, the effects of parental imprisonment will be related to our assumptions.
