My Daddy's In Prison

BBC Radio Scotland - The Investigation, My Daddy's In Prison

The Investigation asks whether the children of prisoners are being failed by the system.

An estimated 27,000 children have a parent in prison. The Investigation asks whether these children are being punished for the crimes of their parents.

Are children being punished for the crimes of their parents?

Every year in Scotland an estimated 27000 children have a parent in prison. That's more than the number of children in care. But are these the invisible children of our society?

The Investigation discovers that most authorities don't even know who they are. Are they getting the support they need or are we failing these innocent victims of imprisonment?
