What inconvience does a family experience when the mother or father goes to jail?
by Admin on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 | 4 Comments
In most families the father is the main bread winner; in some families the mother is the main bread winner and in many families both parents work. If one of them ends up in jail or prison does it cause a hardship on the family? What hardships would be expected? Have you or a family you know faced this problem? Is there any way of reducing the negative impact on the families?

You feel sad and sometimes lonely.
People do not understand that the whole family is affected when one goes to jail. My ex’s brother went to jail for murder. I watched the whole family suffer for his actions.
I grew up with a friend who’s husband ended up going to jail. He lost his job and then lost his car and the home they had for less than a year. He is out now and has been trying to get straightened out but the family is still having trouble getting credit and replacing what they lost. Their first child was in the 2nd or 3rd grade in school when this happened and he gets angry when the subject comes up. They admit he was wrong and feels his punishment was right but he feels he let let his family down.
This is as psychologically damaging as a death or divorce in the family, and greatly increases the child’s chances of going to prison. Asking how it inconveniences you is sort of like asking how death inconveniences you. It doesn’t. Everything changes.
