Our criminal legal system disproportionally affects communities of color. Youth of color are significantly more likely to experience the incarceration of a caregiver which has negative impacts on their livelihoods. Visit https://t.co/OKDFn6ccM0 to learn more!

The incarceration of a caregiver affects youth in many adverse ways, but the effects on mental health are particularly alarming. These youth are the "hidden victims" of the criminal legal system.

Sharing statistics like this makes it easier to break the stigma surrounding the incarceration of a caregiver.
