Liminal Men: Incarceration and Relationship Dissolution (2015, background): “…distinction is important, as findings show that relationships surviving the initial post-incarceration period suffer no deleterious consequences, at least with respect to dissolution, consistent with qualitative research showing that some relationships thrive during incarceration (Comfort 2008).”
Families coming together in prison: An examination of visitation encounters (2016, methodology): “Other research documents how family members often use the incarceration period to start anew—regardless of pre-incarceration difficulties (Comfort, 2008; Roy and Dyson, 2005; Tasca, 2015).”
Those They Leave Behind: Paternal Incarceration and Maternal Instrumental Support (2012, background): “To be sure, a relatively small body of qualitative research has examined the familial consequences of paternal incarceration (Braman, 2004; Comfort, 2008; Daniel & Barrett, 1981; Fishman, 1990; Lowenstein, 1984; Morris, 1965), but most of this research has stopped short of exploring the social…”
Inmates’ Experiences with Prison Visitation (2019, background): “Inmates who are coping poorly with prison life might also have a hard time during visitation (DeVeaux, 2013), especially if their visitors get upset by seeing them in a deteriorated state of wellbeing (Comfort, 2008).”

Book Review: Children of the Prison Boom: Mass Incarceration and the Future of American Inequality (2014, background): “Yet, with some notable exceptions (for example, Comfort, 2008, on the partners of prisoners), there have been fewer sophisticated analyses of the consequences of mass incarceration for the innocent families of those confined.”
The Association Between Parental Incarceration and Health, Education, and Economic Outcomes in Young Adulthood (2015, unknown): “…is problematic for a number of reasons including familial financial instability, the stigma of parental imprisonment, social exclusion, and loss of contact with the incarcerated parent (Codd 2008; Comfort 2008; Dallaire 2007; Eddy and Poehlmann 2010; Foster and Hagan 2007; Murrary et al. 2009).”
What Percentage of Americans Have Ever Had a Family Member Incarcerated?: Evidence from the Family History of Incarceration Survey (FamHIS) (2019, background): “…market and worsens their labor market prospects (e.g., Harding et al. 2018; Pager 2003; Western 2002), and interferes with their family lives (e.g., Comfort 2008; Comfort et al. 2018; Turney and Wildeman 2013), scholars have tied it to racial and class disparities in several dimensions of social…”
Beyond Incarceration: Criminal Justice Contact and Mental Health (2017, background): “Incarcerated individuals also report strong romantic relationships during their confinement (Comfort 2008; Turney 2015) and optimistic expectations for their lives after release (Manza and Uggen 2006).”
Social isolation and inmate behavior: A conceptual framework for theorizing prison visitation and guiding and assessing research (2013, background): “At the same time, visitors typically characterize prison visitation as challenging and intimidating, which can contribute to tension during visits (e.g., Fishman 1990; Arditti 2003; Tewksbury and DeMichele 2005; Comfort 2008; Sturges and AlKhattar 2009; Dixey and Woodall 2012; see also Moran 2013).”
