Description: "Holding On: Family and Fatherhood during Incarceration and Reentry draws on new data from the Multi-site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting, and Partnering to challenge long-standing boundaries between research on incarceration and on the well-being of low-income families. It proposes that the failure to recognize the centrality of incarcerated men's roles as fathers and partners has helped to justify a system that removes them from their families and hides that system's costs to parents, partners, and children"--Provided by publisher.
