They are facing social discrimination, bullying and sexual assaults.These are having serious implications on their normal childhood. They are attracting towardscrime and dark world from their early childhood. In the current situation, this question is havingsignificance due to the reason that in the majority of the cases, the future of the children of theinmates is not being considered during the imprisonment of their mothers (Arditti, 2012). Thus,this question will enable to identify and determine the effects on the children from theimprisonment of their mothers and concluding on the probable solutions to reduce the extent ofthe negative effects.

It will help to evaluate the social impact ofthe imprisonment on the children.

Question: 3As discussed earlier, the data being collected from the inmates will be attested by theauthorities, which will validate the data collected (Sargent, 2013). Moreover, the collected datafrom the family members of the inmates will further be cross checked by consulting with thechildren. However, it will be considered that if the age of the children is favorable forconsultation, then only they will be consulted. Otherwise, their mothers or the inmates will beconsulted to match the similarity of the opinions between them and their family members.
