The number of children whose parents are in prison is one of the issues being highlighted by Prisons Week, which runs from 17 to 23 November.  The concern has been raised by Bob Wilson, secretary for prison chaplaincy of the Free Churches Group, who said that 200,000 children were affected by the imprisonment of a parent in 2009.
