This paper focuses on imprisoned mothers in Ireland but is relevant to practitioners and policy-makers in the UK.
Examining the particular situation of imprisoned mothers in Ireland the authors explore current provision within the Irish Prison System to support them in their efforts to maintain relationships with their children and wider family members. Deficits in provision are highlighted and a case for reviving the role of supportive social work practitioners to work alongside imprisoned mothers is proposed, justified within a welfare and rights-based framework of evidence. To read more about reviving social work provision for imprisoned mothers in Ireland see the Probation Journal.
