Abstract
Using the qualitative approach of Moustakas’ (1994) transcendental phenomenology, seven formerly incarcerated Black fathers responded to semistructured interviews about their parenting experiences following incarceration. Participants discussed what influenced the relationship they have and would like to have with their children. Findings showed that most Black fathers (a) felt that their parenting habits were influenced by past experiences; (b) were in contact with their children; and (c) stated that their personal growth influenced their desire to be better parents. Findings call for strength-based approaches, rather than deficit perspectives, to increase father involvement and decrease risk factors among children.
