  • To examine the effects of the Family Reunion Program on inmate and wife coping.
  • To assess the support systems available to wives of incarcerated individuals.
  • To explore the relationship between conjugal visits and family resilience.

Main Methods:

  • Contrasted participants in the Family Reunion Program with matched non-participants.

    • Main Results:

    • Coping levels were within the normal range for both participating and non-participating inmates and wives.
    • Family Reunion Program participation did not significantly alter coping, except for wives' passive appraisal.
    • Wives predominantly used family support and religion for coping, with substantial help from extended families and neighbors.

    Conclusions:

    • The Family Reunion Program's direct impact on coping may be limited.
    • Wives of incarcerated individuals possess robust informal support networks.
    • Findings suggest avenues for clinical interventions to support families during incarceration.
