Abstract

Prison experience affects not only the prisoner but also his family (Murray, Farrington and Sekol,
2012). The remaining convicted family children should be seen as “direct” victims of imprisonment,
rather than “secondary” victims (Merchil, cited in Mitrani, 2018). Incarcerated parents and
deterioration of family relationships, poverty, low academic performance, aggression, depression,
guilt and substance abuse, are often confronted with many problems (www.childwelfare.gov). Apart
from the “ Waiting Child ”project, there are no concrete studies carried out for the children of
prisoner parents who are in a disintegrated position in many ways. In this study, it is aimed to
determine the problems experienced by convicted family children during school adaptation as
hidden and neglected victims.

Keywords
