Holding On showcases the results of an unprecedented ten-year study of justice-involved families that renders visible the men and their families who are typically excluded from traditional surveys. Using new data from the Multi-Site Family Study on Incarceration, Parenting, and Partnering (MFS-IP), Holding On is groundbreaking in its couples-based and mixed-methods design, large scale, and extended follow up period. It sheds rich new light on the parenting and intimate relationships of justice-involved men, challenging long-standing boundaries between research on incarceration and the well-being of low-income families. Boldly proposing that the failure to recognize the centrality of incarcerated men's roles as fathers and partners has helped to justify a system that removes them from their families and hides that system's costs to parents, partners, and children, Holding On aims to smash the dichotomy between offender and parent, inmate and partner, and victim and perpetrator to explore the true costs of returning incarcerated fathers to the family.
