Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 78 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Many women in prison have little meaningful contact with their family members, more especially their children. There are several reasons for limited contact, including the mother's incarceration in a prison located a distance from the family and the logistical and financial costs involved in arranging visits, a prison's restrictions on contact or communications with family members and the greater likelihood that the family of a female prisoner will shun or reject her, compared to families of male prisoners. Also, prison regulations and institutional barriers may be partially at fault for limited family contact. For example, most detainees in Latvia are not allowed to telephone their families or receive visits. | Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences | Special Procedures' report |
