Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Former prisoners encounter many challenges upon release from prison—and one of the most significant is a newly freed prisoner’s reintegration into family life. The actual process of interaction between former prisoners and their family members, however, is neither well documented nor fully understood. In particular, very little is known about how former prisoners and their family members renegotiate their respective roles and how such renegotiation affects the (bidirectional) exchange of various forms and levels of support in both perceived and real terms. This paper addresses and examines these issues using data collected from the Evaluation Project of the Illinois Going Home Program as part of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Serious and Violent Offender Reentry Initiative. This study used the case study method, specifically through in-depth interviews with a sample of nine dyads of former prisoners and their corresponding family members. The findings give insight into how former prisoners return to their family members, how the roles in their relationships can be clarified, and how specific forms of support can be matched and exchanged to help ease the transition from prison to home.
