    Like children of prisoners, they get sent to live with someone else (usually the prisoner will arrange such things before actually being incarcerated).

    I have an uncle who has been in and out of prison for about 15-20 years now, who had a son and a dog (both of which were taken care of by my grandparents).

    lol @ below.... "they die"... No, they don't. I don't care what kind of police officer experience you've had, you obviously either don't know the answer to this question or chose to purposely lie about it.

    they die

    Source(s): I am a retired police officer. I retired as a sergeant, after 29 years, from a very large department, about 12,000 officers. I was a patrol officer for 4 years in a very diverse area. I was a tactical officer in the high rise project areas of my city. We called it vertical patrol in that we walked the the stairways of the high rises most of the time. I did that for 5 years and was promoted by test to detective. I worked violent crime (homicide, sex, officer involved shootings, robbery, kidnapping, serious non property incidents) for 11 years until I was promoted to sergeant. I worked as a street supervisor, a bicycle patrol supervisor and a desk sergeant/watch commander. During my time as a tactical officer and a detective I was a unit representative for the police union. I have a B.A in English and an M.S. in Law Enforcement Administration..
