Special Encore Presentation: Incarceration: The Childs Point of View

  • Summary

  • Children of the incarcerated seem to be invisible in this continuing national tragedy of mass incarceration. There are over 2.7 million directly affected and the number is growing. A stigma is placed on these little hearts and minds. What do caretakers, teachers, family members say or do? This is not specific to one ‘race’ or ethnicity. However, the face of the impacted is too often felt in Black and Brown. What are these/our children feeling that impacts their future? Are we forcing them to pay a debt to society? Think these/our children don’t love and miss their parents? Or their parents not love them? Think again. Sesame Street has stepped into this emotionally charged arena with a toolkit to help with the secret hurt and pain. Join Dr. Jeanette Betancourt, Sesame Street’s Senior VP Outreach and Education, and Dr. Kirk Harris, Professor, University of Wisconsin, Lawyer, and Sesame Street Advisor to gain new literacy and skill to see these/our children and parents with new eyes.
