From Medical Xpress:
A prison sentence may not always have negative consequences for children of the incarcerated,
says University of California, Irvine sociologist Kristin Turney. In a new study,
she finds that when an uninvolved dad spends time behind bars, there are no negative
effects on his parenting. "To date, most research shows that incarceration has detrimental
effects on family life," she says. "But we find that there is considerable variation
in these effects."
