ROJAS-CAVANZO, Daniela Andrea; BENKELFAT-PERAFAN, Katerine  e  MORA-ANTO, Adriana. Narratives about family relationships among women that are imprisoned. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.1, pp.273-286. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14118160215.

This research aims to characterize the perceptions among a group of female residents at a Female Detention Center that were close to being released regarding the dynamics of the relationships among their birth families and the families that later constructed. Ten women were individually interviewed. It was found that they come from families where the dominant authority figure is usually the mother while the father figure is peripheral or absent. There are often incidents of domestic violence and abuse within these families. The time in jail heightens the family crisis due to fact that these are families with low incomes. Imprisonment is a phenomenon that transcends the family and prison environments and should be considered an area of interest for social policies that support the imprisoned population.
