Abstract
The impact of incarceration on the family was studied in 63 inmates and 39 wives, half of whom received conjugal visits through the Family Reunion Program (FRP). Interview data and standardized measures assessed family functioning. Families in both groups were cohesive but not adaptable, and FRP inmates reported feeling closer to their families than non-FRP inmates.Keywords
