Each year close to 400,000 fathers leave prison and return home, yet little is known about the experiences of fathers who attempt to reconnect with their children post release. The lack of attention to the reunification experiences of formerly incarcerated fathers is surprising since recent evidence show the important role that fathers play in the lives of their children. Even more, several studies indicate that a strong father-child bond is effective in reducing male recidivism. The inability of fathers to reconnect with their children after prison not only has implications for fathers and children but also exacerbates the problem of absent-fathers. This research contributes to the developing literature on the reunification experiences of fathers after prison. Using an interpretative phenomenological approach, twenty-one parolee fathers were interviewed. Findings show that fathers face several challenges after their release from prison. Fathers who had reconnected with their children discovered that their young children were afraid of them, their older children lacked trust in them or that another father figure had replaced them. Some fathers found it difficult to reform the father-child bond or to re-assume parental authority over their children. On the other hand, several fathers failed to reconnect with their children due to the unwillingness of children's mothers, their own fear of being rearrested for non-payment of child support, or their decision to delay reunification until they were able to provide financial support. Fathers believed that given their many challenges, their fathering needs were not addressed in prison or upon their release. Fathers identified several useful reunification services including parenting and co-parenting classes, counseling, legal assistance, family-oriented programs, and a service to locate children. Findings underscore the need for more serious research and program attention to be directed to "offending fathers."

Cory Crosby spent much of his time in prison wondering how to explain to his children why he wasn't a part of their life. But lacking the right words, he took the tools he had on hand, pens and paper and a love for illustration and writing, and used those to express what he could not over a prison phone line or during infrequent visits. "When My Dad Comes Home," is a children's book that combines the writings of Crosby and illustrations of Candice Malveaux to put into simple language several instances where a father might be absent for an extended period and how they and the children value time together when reunited.

The incarceration rate in the United States is the highest of any developed nation, with a prison population of approximately 2.3 million in 2016. Over 700,000 prisoners are released each year, and most face significant educational, economic, and social disadvantages. In After Prison, sociologist David Harding and criminologist Heather Harris provide a comprehensive account of young men’s experiences of reentry and reintegration in the era of mass incarceration. They focus on the unique challenges faced by 1,300 black and white youth aged 18 to 25 who were released from Michigan prisons in 2003, investigating the lives of those who achieved some measure of success after leaving prison as well as those who struggled with the challenges of creating new lives for themselves. The transition to young adulthood typically includes school completion, full-time employment, leaving the childhood home, marriage, and childbearing, events that are disrupted by incarceration. While one quarter of the young men who participated in the study successfully transitioned into adulthood—achieving employment and residential independence and avoiding arrest and incarceration—the same number of young men remained deeply involved with the criminal justice system, spending on average four out of the seven years after their initial release re-incarcerated. Not surprisingly, whites are more likely to experience success after prison. The authors attribute this racial disparity to the increased stigma of criminal records for blacks, racial discrimination, and differing levels of social network support that connect whites to higher quality jobs. Black men earn less than white men, are more concentrated in industries characterized by low wages and job insecurity, and are less likely to remain employed once they have a job. The authors demonstrate that families, social networks, neighborhoods, and labor market, educational, and criminal justice institutions can have a profound impact on young people’s lives. Their research indicates that residential stability is key to the transition to adulthood. Harding and Harris make the case for helping families, municipalities, and non-profit organizations provide formerly incarcerated young people access to long-term supportive housing and public housing. A remarkably large number of men in this study eventually enrolled in college, reflecting the growing recognition of college as a gateway to living wage work. But the young men in the study spent only brief spells in college, and the majority failed to earn degrees. They were most likely to enroll in community colleges, trade schools, and for-profit institutions, suggesting that interventions focused on these kinds of schools are more likely to be effective. The authors suggest that, in addition to helping students find employment, educational institutions can aid reentry efforts for the formerly incarcerated by providing supports like childcare and paid apprenticeships. After Prison offers a set of targeted policy interventions to improve these young people’s chances: lifting restrictions on federal financial aid for education, encouraging criminal record sealing and expungement, and reducing the use of incarceration in response to technical parole violations. This book will be an important contribution to the fields of scholarly work on the criminal justice system and disconnected youth.

The Russian Federation has one of the largest prison populations in the world. Women in particular are profoundly affected by the imprisonment of a family member. Families and Punishment in Russia details the experiences of these women-be they wives, mothers, girlfriends, daughters-who, as relatives of Russia's three-quarters of a million prisoners, are the "invisible victims" of the country's harsh penal policy. A pioneering work that offers a unique lens through which various aspects of life in twenty-first century Russia can be observed: the workings of criminal sub-cultures; societal attitudes to parenthood, marriage and marital fidelity; young women's quests for a husband; nostalgia for the Soviet period; state strategies towards dealing with political opponents; and the social construction of gender roles.

How fathers affect their daughters' social, academic, intellectual, athletic, and psychological development is then considered. Factors that can weaken father-daughter relationships, such as divorce, including various theoretical perspectives, are explored in chapters 5 and 6. Father-daughter relationships of racial or ethnic minorities and an array of potentially destructive situations that affect these relationships are the focus of chapters 7 and 8. The impact of fathers who are incarcerated, abusive, alcoholics, gay, or sperm donors are considered. The book concludes with suggestions on where we go from here.
