While there is a wealth of information online around the imprisonment of a loved one, it is not all in one place and can be difficult to navigate both for families and professionals. In an ideal world, every family affected by the imprisonment of a loved one would have a family support worker assigned to them from the point of arrest to walk them through the various pinch points of the criminal justice journey (arrest, court, sentencing, prison, release). Sadly, in reality, this is not always possible. This handbook provides a one stop guide for families from arrest to release. It covers subjects as varied as the stigma and challenges of having a parent in prison, financial support, understanding every stage of the criminal justice system, how to keep in contact, what to expect from release and a special section on sexual offences. Also provided is a long list of organisations across the UK who provide relevant support, as well as links to useful books and online.The family support pack is aimed both at families affected by the imprisonment of a loved one, but also professionals who may encounter these families.Familial Imprisonment: Handbook https://www.yss.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Family-Support-Pack-finalised-version.pdf Service/Activity is Free We're sorry but <%= htmlWebpackPlugin.options.title %> doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled.
