For incarcerated fathers, prison rather than work mediates access
to their families. Prison rules and staff regulate phone
privileges, access to writing materials, and visits. Perhaps even
more important are the ways in which the penal system shapes men's
gender performances. Incarcerated men must negotiate how they will
enact violence and aggression, both in terms of the expectations
placed upon inmates by the prison system and in terms of their own
responses to these expectations. Additionally, the relationships
between incarcerated men and the mothers of their children change,
particularly since women now serve as "gatekeepers" who control
when and how they contact their children. This book considers how
those within the prison system negotiate their expectations about
"real" men and "good" fathers, how prisoners negotiate their
relationships with those outside of prison, and in what ways this
negotiation reflects their understanding of masculinity.
