"Around one in five prisoners report the previous or current incarceration of a parent. Many such prisoners attest to the long-term negative effects of parental incarceration on one's own sense of self and on the range and quality of opportunities for building a conventional life. And yet, the problem of intergenerational incarceration has received only passing attention from academics, and virtually little if any consideration from policy makers and correctional officials. This book-the first of its kind-offers an in-depth examination of the causes, experiences and consequences of intergenerational incarceration. It draws extensively from surveys and interviews with second, third, fourth and fifth generation prisoners to explicate the personal, familial and socio-economic contexts typically associated with incarceration across generations. The book examines 1) the emergence of the prison as a dominant if not life-defining institution for some families, 2) the link between intergenerational trauma, crime and intergenerational incarceration, 3) the role of police, courts, and corrections in amplifying or ameliorating such problems, and 4) the possible means for preventing intergenerational incarceration. This is undeniably a book that bears witness to many tragic and traumatic stories. But it is also a work premised on the idea that knowing these stories-knowing that they often resist alignment with pre-conceived ideas about who prisoners are or who they might become-is part and parcel of advancing critical debate and, more importantly, of creating real change. The book will be of interest to students, academics and lay audiences"

Par essence, l'être humain est relié à son semblable. Le réduire à lui-même et l'isoler aboutit inéluctablement à l'animaliser. Aussi les peines privatives de liberté ont-elles à réduire les effets d'une curieuse contradiction : déconstruire pour réparer. Au cœur de ce paradoxe, les liens familiaux, véritable ligne de partage entre les points d'ancrage humanisant et les intrigues les plus violentes et douloureuses, enchevêtrent des questions où se croisent les compétences éducatives, psychologiques, juridiques et sociales. A l'épreuve du pénal, quel espace pour l'exercice de la fonction parentale ? Quelle inquiétante impression d'abandon ? Mais aussi et dans l'hypothèse de l'incarcération d'un mineur, quelle renonciation à l'estime de son parent ? Quel sentiment d'abdication devant les exigences de l'obligation et de la loyauté filiales ? Cet ouvrage esquisse quelques réponses qui sont autant de pistes soumises à la réflexion des praticiens en charge de soutenir les parents ou de les assister dans leurs obligations éducatives.
