Abstract
Book Review | Holding On: Family and Fatherhood During Incarceration and Reentry
Highlights
To accomplish this goal, McKay and colleagues utilize a novel dataset, the Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting, and Partnering
Given that over 90% of people serving time in prison are male (Carson, 2018), the lack of focus on fatherhood means that we know very little about the family experiences of a majority of people involved with the justice system
“Always Having Hope”: What We (Didn’t) Know about Fatherhood and Incarceration, finds that family functioning and support during incarceration are important for parenting after release
Summary
McKay and colleagues utilize a novel dataset, the Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting, and Partnering. Given that over 90% of people serving time in prison are male (Carson, 2018), the lack of focus on fatherhood means that we know very little about the family experiences of a majority of people involved with the justice system. The goal of Holding On is to bridge these gaps in the current literature and provide an in-depth, mixed-methods examination of fatherhood and partnering through incarceration and release.
