Abstract

The experience of having a family member in prison is overwhelming. From the moment of arrest, families face substantial changes in their daily lives; their organization is reconfigured, their financial situation worsens, the bonds and affective relationships are altered. The effects produced by prison are multiple and serious: they affect the subjectivity and autonomy of detainees, but they also extend beyond the walls, directly impacting families and especially women.
