Working With Families of Offenders
:: HOME > Corrections Library > Popular Topics >
    Offenders' families share the effects of criminal sanctions and can assist in rehabilitation, public safety, and transition from prison or jail. Families are a resource for offenders during incarceration, and their support can enhance offender reentry and success in the community. By involving the offender's family, corrections agencies can tap in to strengths and linkages with the broader community that improve public safety.

    Also of interest to researchers, caregivers, and social service agencies is how an offender's involvement in the justice system affects the family, particularly his or her children.
