Hour Children serves an overlooked population of mothers and children rejoining the community and reuniting as family.
An estimated 62% of women incarcerated in state prisons are mothers with children under the age of 18. About half of these children are 9 or younger. 64% of incarcerated mothers reported living with their children just prior to imprisonment. It is estimated that there are more than 105,000 children with a parent in prison or jail in New York State alone.
