Prisoner's daughter: 'You do not give up on them'

Prisoners' children share their stories: 'Bethany' was eight when her mother went to prison, while 15 year old 'Jack' has spent his teens with both parents in jail. The charity Person Shaped Support, that helps children whose parents are in prison, says that if the Government doesn't start funding support, even more young people will end up offending and suffering with mental health problems. Around 230 thousand children in the UK have a parent in jail, a recent study showed that over two thirds of boys with a father in prison go on to offend themselves.
