“…Children in these circumstances also typically experience school problems (Sack et al, 1976) and poverty (Baunach, 1985). Researchers have suggested that these children have ongoing trauma and that stressors are barriers to successfully conquering developmental tasks (Phillips & Harm, 1997).…”

The purpose of this exploratory research study was to examine the impact of maternal incarceration on mothers and their children from an ecological perpective. Individual interviews were conducted with four mothers who have previously been in conflict with the law and have been in custody for a minimum twelve months. Two primary workers from Elizabeth Fry Society of Simcoe County were also interviewed for another perspective pertaining to this topic. Participants were recruited by distributing advertisements at the Elizabeth Fry Society of Simcoe County. This study coincided with the literature and found that there are a number of combining factors from the broader system which impact the developmetnal outcomes of a child. After analyzing the data it appeared that there were two main aspects reported by all participants that affect children when their mothers are incarcerated. These include: System Barriers and Resouce Barriers. The participants from this study recommended child friendly centres and physical visitations to rectify and mainain the mother-child relationship while mothers are incarcerated. This study helped to deconstruct norms associated with traditional families and recognized the unique experiences of mother-child relationships during incarceration.

“…In accordance with gender-conscious thought about life behind bars, the series’ protagonists embody Susan D. Phillips and Nancy J. Harm’s (1998, 7) feminist approach to prison intervention: “Incarcerated women are oppressed women,” they state, and for them to establish safe and healthy life alternatives, “these women need to develop marketable educational and vocational skills, support systems, and a perception of themselves that gives credit to their resources and strengths.” As an instance of this affirmation, in the show the pragmatic inmate Tricia mentioned above succeeds in throwing her farewell party, feeling proud before her lover and the whole group in the fourth episode; inmates in the maximum-security prison where Piper is taken in season 2 earn money by training roaches to carry cigarettes, cultivating economic resources in a context of scarcity (S2 E1, cited above); and Red, using her smuggling skills, manages to provide for her “family” and reinforce her role as a mother figure despite the cuts in funding and raw materials for her cooking (S3 E12, “Don’ Make Me Come Back There”).…”

Drawing on the work of Lois McNay as a feminist extender of Foucault's ideas about power and the possibility of resistance, this article offers a discussion of her theories of female agency as transferred onto Jenji Kohan's TV adaptation of Piper Kerman's prison autobiographical narrative Orange Is the New Black (2010). Situated within feminist epistemology, our approach is interdisciplinary, and we argue that the series is an instance of McNay's neo-Foucauldian framework in practice, with her three dimensions of agency integrated in a critical discourse about life in women's prisons. We contend that Kohan presents the protagonists as active subjects with potential for transformation. In our view, her narratives of resistance against the disciplinary practices of the institution can be read as political statements that promote consciousness-raising among viewers.

“…Dentro de otros factores ambientales que pueden influir en el neurodesarrollo se encuentra la privación de contacto materno, pobreza y otras condiciones sociales [17][18][19] . La separación precoz, debido a la reclusión materna, corta el vínculo del apego y puede tener un impacto nocivo en un niño que se encuentra en desarrollo, el que ha sido descrito por algunos expertos como un "trauma perdurable" [20][21][22][23][24] .…”

et al. 2019

En Chile el sistema penitenciario cuenta con un programa que permite que las madres privadas de libertad vivan con sus hijos menores de 2 años. Esta modalidad podría implicar que los niños estén más expuestos a condiciones de estrés y a mayor riesgo de retraso en su desarrollo psicomotor (DSM).Objetivo: Comparar el DSM y la concentración de cortisol en saliva de los niños que viven en la cárcel junto a sus madres y comparar los resultados con los observados en niños que no están bajo este régimen.Sujetos y Método: Estudio transversal en 42 lactantes, 12 de ellos hijos de madres reclusas en el centro penitenciario de Santiago (CPF), y 30 controles provenientes de un Centro de Salud Familiar de Atención Primaria (CESFAM). Se evaluó DSM de los lactantes mediante la encuesta ASQ-3 y se realizó medición de cortisol salival mediante radioinmunoensayo a los lactantes y madres.Resultados: La mediana de cortisol salival de los hijos de madres del CPF y CESFAM fue de 2,3 ng/ml (IQR 1,1 a 2,7) y de 2,1 ng/ml (IQR 1,6 a 2,9) respectivamente. El cortisol materno fue 4,6 ng/ml (IQR 3,8 a 7,3) en el CPF y 3,7 ng/ml (IQR 2,4 a 4,7) en el CESFAM. El déficit del DSM fue 2,3% y 28,5% para los niños del CPF y del CESFAM, respectivamente, sin diferencia estadística (p = 0,06).Conclusiones: No hubo diferencia en el DSM y tampoco en el cortisol salival entre los niños de ambos grupos.
