“…For some families, this economic outlay can have damaging consequences; Grinstead et al (2001) reported that low-income women spent a large proportion of their income (26%) on prison visiting and other costs of maintaining contact. This can be extremely detrimental, as we know that as prisoners' families frequently suffer financial difficulties as a result of imprisonment (Christian, Mellow, & Thomas, 2006;Codd, 2008;Light & Campbell, 2006;R. Smith, et al, 2008).…”

“…Les sentiments les plus fréquemment ressentis chez les répondants se rapportent à la tristesse et la culpabilité, sentiments qui se traduisent, pour certains parents, par la présence de manifestations dépressives qui nécessite parfois la prise d'une médication. Le constat de la présente recherche va dans le même sens que d'autres écrits scientifiques s'intéressant à l'expérience des proches de détenu, qui soulignent qu'ils vivent beaucoup de détresse psychologique lors de l'incarcération de leur proche (Carlson & Cervera, 1991;Christian, et al, 2006;Crépin, 2000;Ensminger, et al, 2006;Hannem, 2008;Le Quéau, et al, 2000;Whiters, 2001).

“…A large part of this sum is attributed to the cost of incarcerating close to 1.6 million individuals in state and federal prisons, and roughly 61,000 juvenile offenders in residential placement facilities (Carson, 2014;Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 2013). The burden of incarcerating such a large part of the population extends beyond the financial costs of imprisonment, and includes decreased material and psychological wellbeing of the families of those imprisoned as well as lost productivity (Anderson, 1999;Bulow, 2014;Schwartz-Soicher et al, 2011;Christian et al, 2006).
