“Young children, in particular, don’t really have a good way to understand what’s happening, they just feel this intense loss,” she says. Because secure attachments are the basis by which children learn to trust others and form satisfying relationships with others, a disruption in the mother-child attachment relationship can have long-term negative effects. Prolonged separation disrupts the bond, or attachment, between the child and the mother. It can result in them feeling sad and depressed, angry at being abandoned, and perhaps, hopeless. Kramer says that not having access to one’s mother (or father) is very stressful and can be traumatic for the child. ‘It seems very extreme.’ Did Elizabeth Holmes change her voice? Experts weigh in on the way women speak On average, each parent incarcerated in state or federal prisons, similarly to Holmes, has two minor children. jails are mothers and most of them were primary caretakers. About 60% of women in prisons as well as 80% of women in the U.S. prisons make up about 30% of all women incarcerated around the world, she says. “In the vast majority of families in which a parent is incarcerated, whether is the mother or the father, the family usually doesn’t have comparable financial resources or support,” Kramer says. They are able to hire people to help with child care, cooking or other tasks that in other families are done by the same caregiver. What separates Holmes from a lot of other incarcerated mothers is that her husband, whose family owns Evans hotels in California, most likely has financial assets and family support that will make a huge difference, Kramer says. When her daughter was about 3 months old and her son was several weeks shy of his second birthday, Holmes had to report to a minimum security Federal Prison Camp Bryan to serve her sentence on May 30 in Bryan, Texas. The child, a girl, was born in February 2023. Her incarceration was delayed after the sentencing in November 2022, as Holmes was pregnant with her second child. While Holmes was investigated and tried in the court of law, she married William “Billy” Evans in 2019 and gave birth to their first child, a boy, in July 2021.

Growing up while one of the parents is incarcerated, she says, can be potentially damaging to all children, who might experience long-term impacts. “I worry about these children-and all the children of incarcerated parents,” says Laurie Kramer, professor of applied psychology at Northeastern. Although she is very different from most mothers incarcerated in the U.S., her two young children are at a high risk of being affected by her absence from their lives, a Northeastern expert says.
