The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Families coming together in prison: An examination of visitation encounters (2016, background): “Considering the vital role families play in reentry success, family interactions during incarceration are an important yet understudied dimension of the collateral consequences of incarceration literature (LaVigne et al., 2005).”
Here and Gone: Anticipation and Separation Effects of Prison Visits on Inmate Infractions (2013, background): “Notably, most inmate-visitor ties existed prior to incarceration and apparently were insufficient to prevent it (Holt and Miller 1972; La Vigne et al. 2005).”
Inmate Social Ties and the Transition to Society (2008, background): “(p. 1) Of course, inmates’ social ties to such individuals do not necessarily begin only after release from prison but rather are likely to have been forged before or during incarceration (La Vigne et al. 2005).”
Prison Visitation and Recidivism (2012, methodology): “Future research is, accordingly, needed that will be able to adjudicate which outcome is the more likely one and how the incarceration experience itself affects the probability and nature of visitation experiences (La Vigne et al. 2005).”
Blessed Be the Social Tie That Binds (2013, background): “Mailed letters are slow, and phone calls are prohibitively expensive (La Vigne et al., 2005).”
