Prisoners and their Families

First published in 1965, this study was the first attempt in this country to look at the problems of the families of prisoners on a national scale. The survey attempts to portray objectively the conditions of life for the families of a wide range of men in prison at the time, and covers stars, recidivists, and civil prisoners.
