This is a key piece of research concerned with Children of Prisoners. It notes the paradox in the fact that although children and families often incur their own 'sentences' when a father goes inside, there is a responsibility to the child's welfare that they maintain contact with their fathers (providing there is no evidence to suggest that this could be damaging to them). Further, prior to this study, an imprisoned fathers parenting role was unexplored in research.
