“…Family interventions can help reduce the stress and pain of separation from family members, promote family preservation and reunification, and help families meet daily living needs (Hairston, 1997). Inmates who maintain family ties are less likely to accept norms and behavior patterns of hardened criminals (Bayse, Allgood, & Van Wyk, 1991) and become part of a prison subculture (Gordon & McConnell, 1999). Finally, although family ties do not guarantee success after release, the absence of such ties increases the likelihood of failure (Brodsky, 1975;Hairston, 1988Hairston, , 1997.…”

Two-hundred-nine noninmates and 169 inmates completed questionnaires that assessed retrospective perceptions of 12 dimensions of family life and one overall assessment of quality of family life. Between the inmates and noninmates, means for all dependent variables differed significantly except for self-reliance; however, meaningful eta-squares were found only for dimensions of bridging, disengagement, and quality of life. Among the independent-samples t tests for gender, eta-squares were not meaningful. Implications for family life interventions in correctional facilities are suggested.

“…More specifically, recent research has focused on providing social support (Biggam & Power, 1997; Jiang & Winfree, 2006) and facilitating inmates’ awareness of their emotional states (Pomeroy, Kiam, & Green, 2000) as key elements of these interventions. The buffering effect of attending social support groups leads to a reduction in detention‐related stress (Biggam & Power, 1997 ; Sykes, 1958), better psychological adjustment to detention (Jiang & Winfree, 2006), and a reduction in the number of violations of the prison’s rules (Gordon, 1999).…”

Can the chronic exclusion‐resignation link be broken? An analysis of support groups within prisons

Social exclusion, especially when prolonged over time––has a strong impact on the individuals’ health and wellbeing. According to the Temporal Need‐Threat Model (Williams, 2009), the experience of chronic social exclusion inescapably leads to a condition of resignation, characterized by feelings of alienation, depression, helplessness, and unworthiness. However, few empirical studies have tested this prediction and its potential moderating factors. In this research, we identified the prison as a prototypical condition of chronic social exclusion, and aimed at (a) empirically testing the link between chronic exclusion and the resignation stage, (b) investigating whether situational factors—such as attending a support group in prison—can reduce the adverse outcomes of the resignation, and (c) exploring the role of individual differences (e.g., psychological flexibility) in mediating the effect of the support group on the resignation. The study involved 136 participants—68 detainees (31 of them participated in a support group) and 68 free citizens. Results showed that prisoners without the support group showed the highest levels of feelings of resignation. By contrast, prisoners in the support group were no different from nonprisoners in terms of resignation stage outcomes, and this beneficial effect of the support group was mediated by higher levels of perceived social support and psychological flexibility. Overall, this study suggests that the link between chronic exclusion and the resignation stage could be moderated by intervening social factors, highlighting the potential benefits of group‐based interventions to tackle the negative consequences of chronic exclusion in chronically excluded populations.

“…With the limited research on the incarcerated population, conjugal visits are a unique situation in which the insulated nature of the correctional facility system interfaces with the general population. Present in only four states across the United States, numerous federal and state guidelines dictate the specific details of the visits and can vary across facilities (Figure 2) [17]. For the case presented, the patient was in New York, in which conjugal visits are known as the FRP and are regulated by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (NYS DOC)[7].…”

The United States houses one of the largest populations of incarcerated individuals in the world. By extension, the healthcare needs of incarcerated individuals are molded by the unique environmental and institutional circumstances that are less often a concern for the general nonincarcerated community. Conjugal visits pose a distinctive challenge for administration and physicians alike as this presents an intersection between the isolated, controlled correctional facility system and the broader, outside world. Here we present a case of severe urticaria and anaphylaxis associated with a patient’s conjugal visits as well as the challenges in management and treatment of atopy relative to the correctional facility system.
