“…This paper advocates for family therapy to be the treatment of choice in incarcerated settings. Family therapy gives a voice to family members that are often silenced throughout the treatment process by lack of inclusion (Tadros & Finney, 2018, 2019; Tadros, Hutcherson, et al, 2021; Tadros, Schleidan, et al, 2021; Tadros & Vlach, 2022). Incorporating families into the context of therapy with incarcerated individuals and their families can assist them in fostering connectedness and improving the quality of their relationships to assist in successful reentry into their communities and families (Datchi et al, 2016).…”

“…The MFS‐IP is an evaluation of a grant program funded by the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Children and Families (ACF) to promote or sustain healthy relationships and to strengthen families in which a father was incarcerated or otherwise involved with the criminal justice system (e.g., recently released, on parole, or probation). The MFS‐IP data have been utilized in several different articles that have examined family relationships and incarceration (e.g., Comfort et al, 2018; Durante et al, 2022; McKay et al, 2018; McKay & Tadros, 2022; Tadros, 2022; Tadros & Ansell, 2022; Tadros, et al, 2022; Tadros & Gregorash, 2022; Tadros & Tate, 2022; Tadros & Vlach, 2022).…”

Emerging research suggests that those coparenting with an incarcerated person experience multiple challenges. Examining incarcerated coparenting among minority fathers is especially salient as their incarceration rates are substantially higher than White males. This study utilized data from the Multi-Site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting and Partnering Study to examine changes in coparenting relationships when the male partner was incarcerated. Theoretically guided by structural family therapy, latent growth models were used to evaluate trajectories of fathers' coparenting reliability and coparenting cohesion across 34 months. Results indicated average declines within incarcerated men's reported coparenting responsibility and coparenting cohesion with their partner. Incarcerated men with higher relationship quality at T1 was significantly associated with higher initial levels of coparenting cohesion and coparenting responsibility-but not with the trajectories of coparenting change. Incarcerated fathers identifying as Hispanic and Other declined at a significantly steeper rate in coparenting responsibility than Black and White

“…Imprisonment has been shown to impact families in several ways, including communication problems (DeHart, Shapiro & Clone, 2018; Tadros, Fye & Ray, 2020), strain on romantic relationships (Tadros & Ansell, 2022; Tadros & Gregorash, 2022; Tadros & Vlach, 2022; Tadros, Presley & Gomez, 2022; Tadros et al., 2022; Turney, 2015), significant financial investment (Bruns, 2019), and coparenting challenges (Tadros, 2022; Tadros & Durante, 2022; Tadros et al., 2022; Tadros et al., 2021; Tadros & Presley, 2022). Solitary confinement exacerbates these challenges.…”

An estimated 84,000 incarcerated individuals face solitary confinement in the United States criminal justice system. Solitary confinement is seen as a cruel punishment, with lasting effects, for incarcerated individuals. Human rights organisations, medical associations, policymakers, and incarcerated people have argued for the discontinuation of solitary confinement. After being in solitary confinement for an extended period, incarcerated people can suffer worsening and future mental health issues, physical health concerns and issues with relationships during and after serving their time in prison. This article reviews the available research and the purpose of the article is to show the detrimental effects solitary confinement has on incarcerated individuals. Clinical and policy implications for prisons that use solitary confinement are discussed to dissuade usage.

“…In 2023, the Sentencing Project launched a campaign entitled "50 Years and a Wake Up" to highlight the use of mass incarceration for the last half century (The Sentencing Project, 2023). Throughout these last several decades, data exploring the impact of incarceration has highlighted its negative mental and physical health effects for those behind bars, and their romantic partners, family units, and communities (Durante et al, 2022;McKay et al, 2018;Tadros & Ansell, 2022;Tadros et al, 2020;Tadros & Gregorash, 2022;Tadros & Vlach, 2022). The stress connected with the isolation of imprisonment can produce trauma (Alves et al, 2016;Folk et al, 2019;Yi et al, 2017), and the physical separation of incarceration, exacerbated by costly phone calls and visits, can increase stress for all those connected to the criminal legal system (Tadros et al, 2020).…”

The consequences of incarceration extend far beyond the individual incarcerated. This article aims to understand the needs, thoughts, feelings, and experiences of incarcerated loved ones through the uses-and gratifications theory. Posts derived from the Facebook group entitled, “Incarcerated Loved Ones” and were coded using thematic analysis. The posts highlighted two themes: negative emotional experiences and criminal justice consequences. The theme negative emotional experiences included feelings of discomfort, requesting encouragement, and venting. The theme criminal justice consequences included difficulty navigating the system, visitation, financial burden, and missing moments. The discussion includes clinical and policy implications as well as future research directions.
