The article reports key findings from an evaluation of ‘Invisible Walls Wales’ (IWW), a multi-agency ‘through the gate’ project in HMP Parc, South Wales, based on an innovative model of ‘whole family’ support for prisoners, their children and partners. It provides an overview of previous research on the impact of parental imprisonment on children and families, including financial hardship, emotional stress and risks of ‘intergenerational offending’. It outlines the core elements of the IWW model and the substantial infrastructure of family support facilities in the prison on which it was built. It summarises outcomes of the project for fathers, partners and children, and gives examples of how IWW’s ‘whole family’ approach is influencing policy and practice elsewhere. Reoffending rates are not yet available, but are anticipated to be low. However, the key strength of the project, it is argued, lies in its emphasis on the ‘whole family’ as the main beneficiary, rather than focusing narrowly on rehabilitation of the father.

囚犯及其子女：“全家”支持的创新模式

这篇文章报告了对“威尔士隐形墙”(IWW) 评估的主要发现，这是一项位于南威尔士 HMP Parc 的多机构“通过大门”项目，基于“全家人”支持囚犯的创新模式，他们的孩子和伙伴。它概述了先前关于父母监禁对儿童和家庭的影响的研究，包括经济困难、情绪压力和“代际犯罪”的风险。它概述了 IWW 模型的核心要素以及该模型所在监狱中家庭支持设施的重要基础设施。它为父亲、伴侣和孩子总结了该项目的成果，并举例说明了 IWW 的“全家”方法如何影响其他地方的政策和实践。再犯率尚不可用，但预计会很低。然而，
