These children experience very real disadvantages when compared to their peers: they tend to experience lower levels of educational success, social exclusion, and even a higher likelihood of their own future incarceration. Meanwhile, their new caregivers have to adjust to their new responsibilities as their lives change overnight, and the incarcerated parents are cut off from their children’s development.Parental Incarceration and the Family brings a family perspective to our understanding of what it means to have so many of our nation’s parents in prison. Drawing from the field’s most recent research and the author’s own fieldwork, Joyce Arditti offers an in-depth look at how incarceration affects entire families: offender parents, children, and care-givers. Through the use of exemplars, anecdotes, and reflections, Joyce Arditti puts a human face on the mass of humanity behind bars, as well as those family members who are affected by a parent’s imprisonment. In focusing on offenders as parents, a radically different social policy agenda emerges—one that calls for real reform and that responds to the collective vulnerabilities of the incarcerated and their kin.Prisoners' familiesUnited StatesChildren of prisonersUnited StatesChildren of women prisonersUnited StatesPrisonersFamily relationshipsUnited StatesWomen prisonersFamily relationshipsUnited StatesPrisoners' familiesChildren of prisonersChildren of women prisonersPrisonersFamily relationshipsWomen prisonersFamily relationships362.82/95Arditti Joyce A1574761MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779184103321Parental incarceration and the family3851188UNINA$110.2506/08/2016Soc
