Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
The legitimate aim of imprisonment is to reform and rehabilitate those who have committed an offence and are considered a danger to society, to assist them to lead a law abiding and self supporting life upon release. But most prisoners do not exist in a vacuum. They are members of family, kin and friendship networks. While prisoners experience the primary effects of detention and deprivation of liberty, their families live their lives in the shadow of prison having social stigma, economic burden and psychological deprivations. This shadow is cast not only over individuals but also over entire communities. The partners and children of prisoners experience the effects of imprisonment most acutely during sentence but also often have to cope with the manifold challenges posed by prisoners release and community re-entry. In this backdrop, this paper is an attempt to highlight the issues concerning imprisonment its dimensions and consequences of imprisonment over prisoners their family members and community.
