The following essay will critically discuss the appropriateness of incarcerated mothers to maintain contact with their children. An emphasis will be put on the consequences of such contact on both the mother’s and the child’s wellbeing. Thus, the focus will be placed on the type of effects produced by these changes in the children’s familial life while also exploring the impact on their social life through shame, bullying and social stigma (Kjellstrand et al. 2012).
