Many such prisoners attest to the long-term negative effects of parental incarceration on one's own sense of self and on the range and quality of opportunities for building a conventional life. And yet, the problem of intergenerational incarceration has received only passing attention from academics, and virtually little if any consideration from policy makers and correctional officials. This book-the first of its kind-offers an in-depth examination of the causes, experiences and consequences of intergenerational incarceration. It draws extensively from surveys and interviews with second, third, fourth and fifth generation prisoners to explicate the personal, familial and socio-economic contexts typically associated with incarceration across generations. The book examines 1) the emergence of the prison as a dominant if not life-defining institution for some families, 2) the link between intergenerational trauma, crime and intergenerational incarceration, 3) the role of police, courts, and corrections in amplifying or ameliorating such problems, and 4) the possible means for preventing intergenerational incarceration. This is undeniably a book that bears witness to many tragic and traumatic stories. But it is also a work premised on the idea that knowing these stories-knowing that they often resist alignment with pre-conceived ideas about who prisoners are or who they might become-is part and parcel of advancing critical debate and, more importantly, of creating real change. The book will be of interest to students, academics and lay audiences"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Prisoners $x Family relationships. 650 0 $a Prisoners' families. 650 0 $a Children of prisoners. 650 0 $a Crime $x Sociological aspects. 650 7 $a Children of prisoners. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00855496 650 7 $a Crime $x Sociological aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883017 650 7 $a Prisoners' families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077260 650 7 $a Prisoners $x Family relationships. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077141 700 1 $a De Vel-Palumbo, Melissa, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Halsey, Mark. $t Generations through prison $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2020. $z 9781351240574 $w (DLC) 2019048415 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014718.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=69B54DB49FDF11EA86A3D44697128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
