About 2 percent of fathers and 10 percent of mothers say they have foster parents.

Before they entered school, 46% of imprisoned parents lived with their minor children. Prior to imprisonment, most mothers and nearly half of their fathers lived in the same house as their children. Overall, only 20% of the father and 12% of the mother living with the child or spouse before being imprisoned. However, many parents report to keep in touch with their children even if they do not live with their children.
