| dc.description.abstract | This paper discusses the structurally violent nature of mass incarceration in the United States, beginning with a comprehensive look at the origins and repercussions of mass incarceration, reentry, and recidivism. Secondly, special focus is given to describing how families, particularly children, are affected by a parent’s incarceration. Thirdly, the paper will describe how currently and formerly incarcerated parents experience their relationships with their children. Finally, the paper will end by arguing that the parent-child relationship should be highlighted alternative forms of justice to promote community healing, improve the reentry process, and disrupt the structurally violent system of mass incarceration. | en_US |
