与家人在地理上分离是监禁的一个后果。根据各州的不同，监狱通常位于偏远的农村地区，远离许多囚犯来自的城市核心。虽然学者们经常引用监狱设施与囚犯家属住所的距离，但很少有研究表明这是否真的是探视的障碍，或者探视的家庭如何管理这一过程。一个家庭成员去监狱探望一次是一个耗费精力、资源密集的过程。了解家庭如何决定投入多少资源来维持与囚犯的关系很重要。本文利用通过人种学观察和访谈收集的数据，探讨了作为监禁附带后果之一的探视监狱的家庭管理。
Geographic separation from family is one consequence of imprisonment. Depending on the state, prisons are often located in remote, rural areas that are far from the urban cores many prisoners come from. Although scholars frequently cite the distance of prison facilities from prisoners’ families’ residences, scant research has addressed whether this is in fact an impediment to visiting or how families who do visit manage this process. It is an exhausting, resource intensive process for a family member to make one visit at a prison. Understanding how families decide how much of their resources to devote to maintaining their relationship with the prisoner is important. Using data collected through ethnographic observation and interviews, this article explores family management of prison visiting as one of the collateral consequences of incarceration.
