What happens if your parents are in prison?

A local charity are supporting young people with parents behind bars.

Georgia Parry - Children Heard and Seen:

"Our main concern is litigating the issues that children of prisoners face."

"We run weekly youth groups, we also do some work on anti-social behavior. On the other side we also do one to one mentoring. Someone to talk to outside of the family. Just being someone they can talk to."

"They're three times for likely to suffer a mental health issues, and 65% of boys who have a parent in prison go on to be offends themselves, so it's about breaking the cycle."
