In doing so, this manuscript explores parenting programs and interventions specifically tailored to the needs of incarcerated fathers, with particular attention to those incorporating attachment-based approaches and play therapy. Findings in the literature suggested that play therapy as an intervention shows promise for improving the attachment style of parenting, current and post-incarceration. Further implications that include the potential for reducing recidivism and increasing parenting interventions during incarceration are discussed.  \nKeywords: Incarcerated Fathers, Parenting Programs, Re-Entry, Play Therapy, Post-Release  \nIn the United States, more than 1.2 million individuals are incarcerated in federal and state prisons (Carson & Kluckow, 2023) .
