Shows that as a direct result of President Ronald Reagan's administration's War On Drugs campaign, the rates of women in prison have skyrocketed, leading to the unintended destruction of the family. This book identifies the risks and needs of these imprisoned mothers and their children, and the obstacles communities face in helping these families.
