本研究采用微观模拟技术，以提供一个帐户暴露于监禁或以前被监禁的亲属。我们描述了完全亲属关系网络中监禁的风险和普遍性，并发现黑人和白色美国人经历的家庭监禁的生命历程轨迹在性质上具有不同的形式：在监狱繁荣时期出生的美国黑人平均在7岁时第一次经历了亲戚的监禁，到65岁时，他们的家庭中有超过七分之一的人工作-有亲戚被关进监狱。相比之下，经历亲属入狱的普通白色美国人直到39岁才这样做，到65岁时，他们的家庭中每20个工作年龄的亲属中就有一个曾经被监禁。未来监禁率的降低有可能有意义地减少家庭监禁负担中的种族差异。
This study employs microsimulation techniques to provide an accounting of exposure to imprisoned or formerly imprisoned kin. We characterize the risk and prevalence of imprisonment within full kinship networks and find that the life course trajectories of familial imprisonment experienced by black and white Americans take on qualitatively distinct forms: the average black American born at the height of the prison boom experienced the imprisonment of a relative for the first time at age 7 and by age 65 belongs to a family in which more than 1 in 7 working-age relatives have ever been imprisoned. By contrast, the average white American who experiences the imprisonment of a relative does not do so until age 39 and by age 65 belongs to a family in which 1 in 20 working-age relatives have ever been imprisoned. Future reductions in imprisonment rates have the potential to meaningfully reduce these racial disparities in family imprisonment burden.
