Children and families coping with imprisonment are often described as the ‘hidden’ victims of the penal system because they must endure their own sentence, despite not having perpetrated any crime. While many issues that children and families of prisoners experience are universal, IPRT examines the current challenges that are specific to the Irish situation. IPRT investigates these within the framework of the rights of the child and the rights of the family where Ireland has ratified, and is legally obliged to comply with, the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 (ECHR) and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child 1989 (UN CRC). The key issues are illustrated in the text through interviews with children and family members, whose voices are often left unheard. Finally, IPRT puts forth our recommendations for change.
