Abstract

This article reports estimates of the cumulative risk of imprisonment and parental imprisonment for demographic groups in four regions and four states. Regional and state-level cumulative risks were markedly higher for African Americans and Latinos than for whites. African Americans faced the highest cumulative risks of imprisonment in the Midwest, Northeast, and two southern states. Latinos were most likely to serve time in state prison in the West, where their cumulative risk was comparable to that of African Americans. Latino children had a relatively high risk of having a parent imprisoned in the Northeast as well. Racial disparities in the cumulative risk of imprisonment and parental imprisonment did not increase linearly with increases in the cumulative risk for all groups.

Several studies have shown that prisoners have lower mortality rates than comparable individuals on the outside, but these findings say as much about threats to life chances in communities where the risk of imprisonment is high as they do about the protective effect of confinement (for a discussion, see Wildeman and Muller 2012).

We use inmates’ first imprisonment to calculate the cumulative risk of imprisonment and their first imprisonment since the birth of the focal child to calculate the risk of parental imprisonment. If a male inmate with two children aged 6 and 11 was imprisoned in 2003 for the first time since 1993, this would be the first paternal imprisonment for his 6-year-old child but not for his 11-year-old child. See Bonczar and Beck (1997:8) and Wildeman (2009:273–274) for further discussion of these methods.
