It has long been argued that families play a crucial role in
helping support prisoners during and beyond their time in prison.
Through harnessing material and emotional support offered through
family, prisoners can have a stronger commitment to move towards
prosocial pathways via these important social ties. Yet, often
overlooked are the experiences of families themselves in providing
support for prisoners. This book focuses on parents whose
adolescent male children are sent to prison. Charting many of the
adversities which parents face – from violence, psychological
stress, to stigma and shame – the book provides one of the first
empirical assessments of the ways parents manage the consequences
of serious crime and navigate relationships with their children in
prison. As well as documenting major social hardships of
imprisonment, the book will also assess the heterogeneous impacts
on relationships between parents and their male children, including
cases where relationships may improve or worsen over the sentence.
With sensitivity to issues of gender, ethnicity and inequality in
families, this book sheds new light on many of the problems of
youth crime and presents a highly topical insight into the effects
of imprisonment on parents. An accessible and compelling read, this
book will appeal to students and scholars of criminology, youth
justice, sociology and all those interested in the role of families
in supporting prisoners.
