The Russian Federation has one of the largest prison populations in the world. Women in particular are profoundly affected by the imprisonment of a family member. Families and Punishment in Russia details the experiences of these women-be they wives, mothers, girlfriends, daughters-who, as relatives of Russia's three-quarters of a million prisoners, are the "invisible victims" of the country's harsh penal policy. A pioneering work that offers a unique lens through which various aspects of life in twenty-first century Russia can be observed: the workings of criminal sub-cultures; societal attitudes to parenthood, marriage and marital fidelity; young women's quests for a husband; nostalgia for the Soviet period; state strategies towards dealing with political opponents; and the social construction of gender roles.

She is someone who has been on this journey of cycles in which she writes about who has gotten through, who now recognizes there is no need to hold on to pain, but to let it all go—to move on without any shame. She had to learn through betrayal, no matter her relationships, whatever the form it was in or how they may have entered into her life. Whatever the degree of pain, she has had to rid the things that did not feel good or sit right. The feelings of discomfort, insecurity, dishonesty, mistrust, headaches, heartaches—she had to find ways to replace the joy back into her life, getting her faith back and trust in the Creator. She has now set herself free using the mental tools of removing the unhealthy emotional ones out of the way. Finding and being in touch has helped her to be able succeed the journey in which she was once on so much, hoping through her identification will help you do the same. Stop making yourself the one to blame. In her conclusion, she states, “This is what the Creator has done for me. Freedom and destiny has set me free. I no longer give up my dignity; I reach heights of my destiny. For it will and it has always been about me. You too can have the same. You too can be set free, no longer an individual scorn.”

By quadrupling the number of people behind bars in two decades, the United States has become the world leader in incarceration. Much has been written on the men who make up the vast majority of the nation’s two million inmates. But what of the women they leave behind? Doing Time Together vividly details the ways that prisons shape and infiltrate the lives of women with husbands, fiancés, and boyfriends on the inside. Megan Comfort spent years getting to know women visiting men at San Quentin State Prison, observing how their romantic relationships drew them into contact with the penitentiary. Tangling with the prison’s intrusive scrutiny and rigid rules turns these women into “quasi-inmates,” eroding the boundary between home and prison and altering their sense of intimacy, love, and justice. Yet Comfort also finds that with social welfare weakened, prisons are the most powerful public institutions available to women struggling to overcome untreated social ills and sustain relationships with marginalized men. As a result, they express great ambivalence about the prison and the control it exerts over their daily lives. An illuminating analysis of women caught in the shadow of America’s massive prison system, Comfort’s book will be essential for anyone concerned with the consequences of our punitive culture.
