The effect of family visits on prisoner well-being and future behavior is an important consideration in the development of prison policy. This review systematically examines current research findings that explore the impact of prison visits from family members on three specific offender outcomes: prisoners' well-being, rule breaking within the prison, and recidivism. The review focuses on visits by family and does not duplicate earlier reviews but rather extends them into current literature, through identification of empirical studies conducted post 1989, published since 1991. Ten studies met the stipulated inclusion criteria. All are case-control and cohort studies. The review of studies used a standardized quality assessment tool. Results show considerable variation in study quality, methods, and findings. However, studies consistently reported positive effects of prisoners receiving visits. Prison visits reduced depressive symptoms in women and adolescent prisoners. There was some evidence of reduction in rule-breaking behavior. One high-quality study suggested that visits reduced recidivism and increased survival in the community. Although there were positive outcomes associated with prison visits, it was not possible to draw strong conclusions for the outcomes of interest due to a lack of research, methodological discrepancies, and variability in outcome measures and results. The discussion considers the implications of the findings for policy, practice, and research.

“…Inmates who receive a greater number of visits from family members and friends are more likely to be successful in reentering society (Casey-Acevedo & Bakken, 2001, 2002Schafer, 1991Schafer, , 1994, which includes a reduced likelihood of recidivism (Bales & Mears, 2008;Derkzen, Gobeil, & Gileno, 2009;Duwe & Clark, 2013;Holt & Miller, 1972;Mears, Cochran, Siennick, & Bales, 2012). Inmates who receive visits also display improved mental health (Casey-Acevedo & Bakken, 2001;Monahan, Goldweber, & Cauffman, 2011). Furthermore, inmates who receive a greater number of visits are less likely to receive disciplinary infractions while incarcerated (Cochran, 2012;Tewksbury, Connor, & Denney, 2014).…”

The present study seeks to identify factors associated with inmates and their incarceration that differentially affect their frequency of receiving visits from specific types of visitors. Findings reveal both demographic and prison experience characteristics as significant predictors of the number of visits received from specific types of visitors. More highly educated, female, White, and currently or formerly married inmates received a greater number of visits from specific types of visitors, as did inmates with fewer prior incarcerations and who were not serving time for a drug, violent, and sex offense conviction. Limitations, directions for future research, and implications are discussed.

“…Penyesuaian tersebut berbeda-beda tergantung faktor pemicu stres dan strategi koping yang dilakukan. Bahkan salah satu hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa remaja yang menerima kunjungan dari orang tua dapat mengalami penurunan gejala depresi lebih cepat dibandingkan dengan remaja yang tidak menerima kunjungan orangtua dan berpengaruh terhadap penyesuaian yang positif (Monahan et al, 2011). Tahanan yang memiliki kualitas hidup yang buruk sebelum di penjara memiliki tingkat pelanggaran disiplin yang tinggi saat dipenjara dibandingkan mereka yang memiliki kualitas hidup yang baik (Dhami et al, 2007).…”

AbstrakIsolasi sosial dan stres yang dialami anak sebagai narapidana merupakan faktor yang dapat memengaruhi penyesuaiannya selama di dalam penjara. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh lama tahanan, kunjungan keluarga, kerentanan, dan strategi koping terhadap penyesuaian anak di Lembaga Pembinaan Khusus Anak (LPKA). Penelitian ini dilakukan di LPKA Kelas I Tangerang, Provinsi Banten dan menggunakan desain cross sectional study yang melibatkan 95 anak didik lapas (andikpas) laki-laki dengan masa tahanan kurang dari 1 tahun. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa semakin meningkatnya stres dalam penjara dan kontrol dari penjara maka semakin sulit bagi andikpas untuk dapat menyesuaikan diri. Penelitian juga menemukan bahwa lebih dari setengah andikpas mengalami kerentanan dalam penjara dalam kategori rendah. Selain itu, lebih dari separuh andikpas melakukan strategi koping dalam kategori tinggi dan koping yang banyak dilakukan andikpas berupa koping berfokus pada emosi. Rataan tertinggi dimensi penyesuaian andikpas adalah dimensi menahan diri. Penyesuaian andikpas dipengaruhi oleh dukungan internal, kontrol penjara, dan strategi koping. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa di awal masa tahanan seseorang perlu melakukan beberapa upaya (coping) agar dapat meyesuaikan diri dengan lingkungan penjara namun upaya tersebut semakin menurun seiring meningkatnya kemampuan menyesuaikan diri di dalam tahanan.Kata kunci: andikpas, dukungan internal, kerentanan, penyesuaian, strategi koping Vulnerabelitiy, Coping Strategies, and Child Adjustment in Child Correction Institution AbstractSocial isolation and stress could be affected child adjustment in prison.
