- What’s it like when your mum or dad go to jail?
Every year hundreds of thousands of young people experience a parent going to prison.
Adele Roberts meets Aobh, who is 16, and her dad has been in jail for two years. When she first found out, she was scared to leave the house and felt anxious the whole time. Eventually she got help and is now looking forward to her dad coming out of prison.

I was 7 when my dad went to prison he got out when I was 16 it's hard if anybody got a parent in jail I feel your pain 💯
If you have a parent in prison, I just want you to know your not alone. I know its hell. My dads on year 6 of 8 years. If your in the same position, I love you and I feel every inch of ripping and shredding of your heart. I’m sorry.
I have to say the hardest thing about my dad going to prison was watching how much pain my mom had to go through
My dad missed the chance to see me grow up. You shouldn’t just make people if your gonna abandon them.
I’m so glad somebody has finally posted this. It’s not really talked about and there is a very prominent stigma about having a parent in prison; and that’s very sad. I’m just happy there are groups and stuff like this in the world; and that it is being acknowledged as a full-fledged problem.
Thank you for raising awareness. Any loss of a parent is traumatic, let alone not being able to speak about it, or potentially being ostracised for speaking about why.
I feel empty, I've never met him but I feel like I'm missing a chunk of my life
My father had been taken away from me for about 10 months now, and the worst part is I still don’t know the reason why, and where the hell he is, and I’m not allowed to write a single letter or send a simple message. We had a fight before he was caught and I don’t even have the chance to say I am sorry and I love him so much. The chance of meeting him in person before I go to college seems impossible. Jesus how can I carry on? How am I supposed to live without him?
My mom was arrested when I was 9 and didn’t come home until I was 13 and it was awful having to grow up without seeing my mom for four years and I really appreciate you guys raising awareness
My dad went to jail when I was 9 months I'm 14 and hes still there I havent seen him since I was like 6 and the last time I talked to him was July and i didnt even get to say ily it was weird tho when he calls I dont know what to say ... and I dont know how u can miss someone u never knew but I do idk if I hate him or love him yet tho idk it's weird bro😭
My dad went to go jail last week, 18 years of my life he was there for me . It most painful feeling ever I miss him so much.
I was six when my mother was incarcerated I was 18 when she was finally released absolutely love the fact that awareness is being raised about children with incarcerated parents
My dad and mom are in prison i feel empty lonely and so broken (cant even explain) 🥺💔
We are all brave ❤
I feel lonely with a single parent, I know everyone elses pain with a parent in jail. It hurts, I know..
I haven talked to my dad since febuary and i wont be able ro see him till june this year
my mom went to jail today. i had lots of absents from school when i was in KINDERGARTEN, i had lice twice that year and had to redo it. yet they’ve still held a grudge and arrested her today. it’s so hard and i can’t bare to know she’s there all day every day. thank god it’s only 5 days, her mugshot broke me down and destroyed me. she looked so sad..and even thinking about it brings me to tears, i miss her so much
My dad is in prison just now I don't know what to do.
What a lot of people don’t understand is not all people that are going or are in prison are bad people, it is a heartbreaking thing to go through for the families 😞
i just came across this video, my story is my father has been in prison since 2002 doing 25-Life in a level 4 prison in california. i’m turning 24 in two days and i have a sister who’s 4 years older also i have 1 baby girl 8 months old. i’ve grown up with my father in prison and i always noticed i never met any kids or friends who had a story like mine around me. it’s always been a battle. this is my story.
