Paperback, 224pp. Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Ltd. (2001) ISBN: 1853029726 More than 125,000 children in the UK alone are 'sentenced' to separation from their imprisoned parents, mainly fathers. Gwyneth Boswell and Peter Wedge draw on extensive research and experience to examine the effect this kind of separation can have on the emotional development of a child and on family relationships. The authors make suggestions for work with prisoners and families in light of current policy and practice. They consider how best to support children coming to terms with conflicting emotions arising from fathers' imprisonment, fathers who may be teenagers themselves, mothers or caregivers coping with absent partners, and prison staff trying to incorporate the family as a factor in rehabilitation.
