Families with Fathers in Minimum Security Prison: A Family Treatment Approach to Treating Families with Fathers in Prison

The population of those in prison is increasing, and many of those who are in prison have families. Much research has been done on the effect prison has on prisoners, but not as much has looked at the children and what the effect is of having a parent, specifically their father, who is absent in prison. It is important to understand the possible behaviors, risks, and challenges that children face. This research essay looks at what it is like for children between the ages of 5 and 10 to have a father in minimum security prison while also examining the effects parental imprisonment has on the child and the challenges of family reuniting after release. This essay also includes a 6-week therapy curriculum that therapists can use with families whose fathers are imprisoned
