I can still be their mom from a distance: understanding the experiences of incarcerated mothers in a faith-based parenting program in a United States prison
ABSTRACT This study examines the experiences of incarcerated mothers who participate in a faith-based parenting program at a women’s prison in the United States. Thirty-three women participated in four focus groups. Using a grounded theory framework, four major themes emerged from the analysis, including building foundations, guilty mom, on the mend, and opening the lines of communication. Overall, the findings highlight numerous benefits of the program for incarcerated women’s relationships with their children, their ability to reframe the experience of motherhood, and their personal growth. A theoretical model for others who must parent ‘from a distance’ is proposed.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Applied Communication Research publishes original scholarship that addresses or challenges the relation between theory and practice in understanding communication in applied contexts. All theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome, as are all contextual areas. Original research studies should apply existing theory and research to practical solutions, problems, and practices should illuminate how embodied activities inform and reform existing theory or should contribute to theory development. Research articles should offer critical summaries of theory or research and demonstrate ways in which the critique can be used to explain, improve or understand communication practices or process in a specific context.
