US — America incarcerates more people than any other country in the world.  

According to a report published by FWD.us and Cornell University, 113 million people in the U.S. have a family member who has or is spending time in prisons or jails.

The research, called 'Every Second: The Impact of the Incarceration Crisis on America's Families', studied the impacts of family incarceration among adults in the US.

Details of the report show one in five Americans has had an immediate family member spend 30 days or less incarcerated.

One the other hand, one in seven people have had a family member spend one year or longer in jail.

According to the research, people of color and low income families are disproportionately affected.

Fifty percent of black adults are more likely to have a family member incarcerated than white adults.

Latino adults are 70% more likely than white adults to have a family member incarcerated.

Sixty-three percent of Native American adults who participated in the study had an immediate family member spend at least one night in jail or prison compared to 42 percent of white adults.

Some of the negative impacts incarceration has on families with children are low income, homelessness, poor school outcome and increase of health issues like diabetes and depression.

FWD.us and Cornell University hope this report can further efforts to create policies that protect families of people who have been incarcerated.
