Increases in the number of incarcerated parents have led to the implementation of parent training programs in prisons. Although many programs exist, programs differ in their design and methods of self-assessment. This article examines the current state of research on parenting interventions, including the types of programs available, the outcomes measured in each study, and the overall effectiveness of parent training. Variables that may affect program effectiveness, such as sentence length, educational level, and parent gender, are considered. The importance of primary prevention through parent training is discussed, including implications for social welfare and further scientific inquiry.

Key Words: incarcerated mothers and fathers • prison parenting education • incarcerated parents
