“…Increased anxiety may lead to more frequent and/or intense acting‐out behaviours or exacerbate the tendency to disengage and withdraw. All of the problems associated with such social, emotional and behavioural problems are accentuated by incarceration (Ochoa et al ., 2023 ). Teachers who may have devoted years to building respectful, trusting relationships with students find themselves struggling to explain why everything has changed when students are in trouble with the law or if they are in jail.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered K-12 teaching and learning and is likely to affect the students' and teachers' futures. This is true for both general and special education. Lingering, long-term issues will affect teachers and students at all levels of education. However, 'silver linings' of the pandemic might nudge education into better practices. Reliable quantitative research of the pandemic's effects is needed, and this includes research of new supports for learning.

When COVID-19 first hit the United States, juvenile correctional facilities across the country discontinued all in-person activities including family visits. Correctional facilities across the country were among the last institutions to reopen their doors for in-person activities given the heightened risk of rapid spread. Drawing on data gathered in February and March 2022, this study examined the state of family visitation policies and COVID-19 safety responses adopted by juvenile correctional facilities, as reported on websites, including information on the different types of contact allowed; COVID-19 safety protocols and practices; availability of information on COVID-19 infection and vaccination rates; and the overall timeliness, consistency, and comprehensiveness of the information available to families with incarcerated minor children. Our findings highlight just how untimely, inconsistent, and incomprehensive information and policies were across jurisdictions, sometimes with little to no stated explanation for their decision-making. We argue that juvenile correctional facilities should take a family-focused approach when developing and disseminating policies that impact the lives of incarcerated youth and their families, especially in times of global uncertainty.
