Crime, Violence, and Criminal Justice in Rural America
We review the current scholarship on rural policing, punishment, crime, and reentry. We shift the focus from the “square of crime” to an expansive understanding of crime and punishment in rural communities that uses neighborhood effects to study inequality across places. A central focus of the article is an investigation of the prison boom or the tripling of prison facilities in the United States. Ultimately, the prison boom is largely a rural ph…
Improving Communication Access for Children with Incarcerated Parents
Sarah Jensen, Kaitlyn Pritzl, Pajarita Charles, Margaret Kerr, and Julie Poehlmann on maintaining kids’ carceral connections
Supported remote video visits for children with incarcerated parents in the United States
The Enhanced Visits Model (EVM) provides support to families in the United States, including technology to connect remotely with incarcerated parents, funding for video visits, and visit coaching for adults to support relationship building with children. Such support is intended to decrease barriers to traditional visits but not replace in-person visiting. The EVM is important for parents who are in local jails, rather than prisons, since jails t…
Lessons From the Field
Objective In this Lesson from the Field, we describe an intervention designed by our transdisciplinary team focusing on opportunities for enhanced parent–child visits when a parent is incarcerated in jail. We present implementation challenges and lessons learned from our pilot feasibility study. Background Separation from one's parent because of incarceration has become an increasingly common experience for U.S. children, with one in 14 children …
Coparenting and Mental Health in Families with Jailed Parents

Despite research documenting increased strain on coparenting relationships, less is known regarding the relation between adult mental health and coparenting quality. This study investigated coparenting in families with youn…
Incarcerated During a Pandemic
U.S. jails are typically over-crowded settings and have faced notable social distancing challenges and a lack of personal protective equipment during the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, institutions made swift policy changes that included canceling in-person visits, suspending programming, and releasing a proportion of people with low-level charges. That said, a still-significant number of individuals remained incarcerated for whom the consequenc…
