"Recent studies indicate that having an incarcerated parent doubles the chance that a child will be at least temporarily homeless and measurably increases the likelihood of physically aggressive behavior, social isolation, depression and problems in school -- all portending dimmer prospects in adulthood."
-- Erik Eckholm, In Prisoners' Wake, a Tide of Troubled Kids, N.Y. Times, July 4, 2000, available at www.nytimes.com/2009/07/05/us/05prison.html.
