Madeline & Gail reflect on the stigma of having an incarcerated loved one. Familes are disrupted, often move away, they become secretive and they carry an outsized and misplaced burden of shame. Family relationships become strained, social interactions are avoided. At a time when friends are most needed, they often fall away. We explore the role that media plays in presenting crime to the general public and reflect on the long term harms that are inflicted on families of incarcerated people. Dr. Sara McNaul and Adriene Harewood make particular contributions to this episode.
