Abstract

La peine d’emprisonnement ne se limite pas aux seules personnes incarcérées ; elle implique directement leurs proches qui éprouvent l’expérience carcérale élargie. L’ouvrage rend compte des capacités différenciées des acteurs à neutraliser ou à « retourner » les effets sociaux, économiques, symboliques, relationnels et identitaires engendrés par le placement en détention de l’un de leur proche. L’institution carcérale, qui porte un regard ambivalent sur les familles, fait peser de nombreuses contraintes sur les échanges au-delà des murs. Malgré cela, la richesse des soutiens apportés aux détenus et l’aptitude des acteurs à créer de la proximité malgré l’éloignement éclairent la force de résistance des liens familiaux. Mais, pris entre émancipation et contrôle, dépendance et autonomie, la place de chacun est mise à mal dans cette situation. Par conséquent, des rapports de pouvoirs complexes et des formes de contrôle mutuel caractérisent les liens à l’épreuve de la prison.

Abstract

By quadrupling the number of people behind bars in two decades, the United States has become the world leader in incarceration. Much has been written on the men who make up the vast majority of the nation's two million inmates. But what of the women they leave behind? Doing Time Together vividly details the ways that prisons shape and infiltrate the lives of women with husbands, fiancés, and boyfriends on the inside. Megan Comfort spent years getting to know women visiting men at San Quentin State Prison, observing how their romantic relationships drew them into contact with the penitentiary. Tangling with the prison's intrusive scrutiny and rigid rules turns these women into "quasi-inmates," eroding the boundary between home and prison and altering their sense of intimacy, love, and justice. Yet Comfort also finds that with social welfare weakened, prisons are the most powerful public institutions available to women struggling to overcome untreated social ills and sustain relationships with marginalized men. As a result, they express great ambivalence about the prison and the control it exerts over their daily lives. An illuminating analysis of women caught in the shadow of America's massive prison system, Comfort's book will be essential for anyone concerned with the consequences of our punitive culture.

Abstract

This Brief explores the potential effects of parent-child contact during incarceration on child and adult relationships, well-being, and parenting as well as corrections-related issues, such as institutional behavior and recidivism. It presents a literature review on what is currently known about parent-child contact during parental incarceration in addition to several empirical studies, followed by a summary, commentary, and briefing report. The empirical studies focus on contact in both jail and prison settings. Because jails in the United States handle more admissions per year than prisons – and studies of jailed parents and their children are not common in the literature – two of the three studies presented focus on jails. Following the empirical studies, a summary that includes recommendations for policy and intervention is presented, along with a commentary that explores what researchers need to do to make effective policy recommendations. This Brief is an essential resource for policy makers and related professionals, graduate students, and researchers in child and school psychology, family studies, public health, social work, law/criminal justice, and sociology.
