“…Mothers depend on the willingness of the child's caregivers to arrange the transportation for visits. In addition, strict visit schedules are also a limitation; for example, visiting hours may coincide with children's school hours or babysitters' working hours (Cramer et al, 2017;Rees et al, 2020).…”

The number of imprisoned women continues to increase. Imprisonment of women affects them as perpetrators of crime and those who have relationships with and ties to them, such as children. This phenomenological study aims to explore the experience of imprisoned women in Jakarta in playing the role of mother. In-depth interviews were conducted to explore the experiences of seven imprisoned women. Through a thematic content analysis, we identified specific keywords, the results revealing the sadness, anxiety, and feelings of guilt experienced by imprisoned mothers in relation to their child-rearing. Imprisoned mothers also experience difficulties in meeting their children's needs, together with inadequate child-rearing facilities. The situation experienced by imprisoned women influences their family relationships, which can lead to family crises. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for professional collaboration between judicial institutions, community nurses, academics, and related parties, increasing the attention paid to imprisoned mothers and children affected by maternal incarceration.Abstrak Pengasuhan Anak oleh Wanita di Penjara: Kesedihan, Kecemasan, dan Perasaan Bersalah.

“…Incarcerated women are 135% more likely to self-harm than men (Ministry of Justice, 2018). Additionally, as women are most likely the primary carer for children (Office National Statistics, 2019) and parenthood increases the impact of pain, exacerbating the loss of liberty as mothers cannot see their children, and familial relationships are strained (Rees et al, 2017). Through the application of the caring mitigation, judges can account for these harms, preventing punishment from moving far beyond its theoretical goal and leaking out to unconvicted third parties.…”

Analysing the impact of being a sole or primary carer for dependent relatives on the sentencing of women in the Crown Court, England and Wales

Most quantitative sentencing research treats women and men as a homogeneous group leading to gaps in the literature regarding women’s experiences of sentencing procedures. This is problematic given the vast array of known harms that result from incarcerating women, particularly those with caring responsibilities for children. This exploratory article shares the findings from a quantitative study which considers the sentencing of women, with a particular focus on the ‘sole or primary carer for dependent relatives’ mitigation when applied to mothers. Using data from the Crown Court Sentencing Survey 2011–2015, a sample of 18,314 women defendants was derived and investigated using descriptive, bivariate and regression analysis to explore the relationship between the ‘caring’ mitigation and non-custodial sentences. The findings suggest that when the mitigation is applied to sentences of women who are carers of dependents, it does not have a strong enough relationship with non-custodial sentences. This article provides hitherto unknown statistical data and highlights the need for further research.

“…They have primarily been used in therapy, to help children talk about difficult experiences. While sand trays have occasionally been used in research, authors (eg Mannay et al, 2017;Rees et al, 2020) have seldom described how they adapted this method from a therapeutic tool to a research instrument. In this article, we therefore focus on presenting the framework we developed for the sand tray method while also debating its strengths and weaknesses.…”

This article presents the “sand tray interview” as a method developed to help researchers interview young children on sensitive topics. Earlier studies have often refrained from interviewing young children on sensitive matters due to their difficulties in such research. This article details how sand tray interviews can be a safe and engaging way for young children to explore painful topics, such as parental bereavement. Based on our application, we discuss the development of the method and debate the applications, strengths, and limitations.
