| Summary: | The article’s author conducted research among 187 incarcerated parents
having children under 15 years old at liberty. An additional criterion that she
took into account was that the parents were undergoing their prison sentence in
the programmed influence system. She analysed how the incarcerated parents
functioned in conditions of prison isolation, and focused on the hardships
they experienced in their incarceration and their ways of coping with them.
In addition, the research material she gathered allowed her to determine the
parental attitudes of the incarcerated parents. Incarcerated parents’ opinions
regarding protective factors and risk factors in the process of social reintegration
constitute an important supplement to the research project. The author’s own
research constitutes a valuable recommendation for the developing of concrete
strategies in penitentiary proceedings, enhancing the quality of the family
system in a situation where parents are serving a sentence of imprisonment.
