Exploring the untold experiences of family members and friends caring for the children of female prisoners in England and Wales, this book illuminates the complex ways imprisonment interferes with family life. It analyses the challenges of the ‘family sentence’ they serve and the difficult realities of their disenfranchised status in society, policy and practice.
