THE PRISONER'S FAMILY: A Study of Family Counseling in an Adult Correctional System

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

By NORMAN FENTON

“A man goes to prison. His relationships with wife, children, or parenis are suddenly interrupted. Penological studies have properly been focused upon the prisoner, yet these persons whom he leaves "on the outside" may significantly affect his adjustment to prison life, and eventually, his behavior for good or ill when he is released. This project, conducted in the California state prison system is the first broad endeavor to bring guidance and counseling techniques into play between prisoners and their families.”
