Research on incarcerated fathers tends to accentuate the harmful familial consequences of parental incarceration and discuss how having children might prompt incarcerated fathers to desist from crime. Less attention has focused on how narratives of fatherhood shape the day-to-day dynamics of incarceration. Drawing on 93 qualitative interviews with incarcerated fathers in Western Canada, we focus specifically on our participants’ parenting narratives. Such narratives are significant interventions in the world, allowing incarcerated fathers to frame their identities in particular ways while simultaneously shaping personal behaviour. Our research, 1. Identifies important fatherhood narratives provided by our participants, and 2. Details how such narratives operate in prison, allowing our participants to advance personal agendas that are themselves related to the dynamics of incarceration. In doing so, we provide insights into incarcerated fathers’ situations and advance criminological efforts to appreciate how different actors entangled in the criminal justice system conceive, manage, and narrate their situation.

“为了我的儿子,我必须成为一个男人”:父亲身份在狱中的叙事用途

对被监禁父亲的研究倾向于强调父母被监禁对家庭造成的有害后果,并讨论生育孩子如何促使被监禁父亲停止犯罪。很少有人关注父亲身份的叙述如何塑造监禁的日常动态。基于对加拿大西部被监禁父亲的 93 次定性访谈,我们特别关注参与者的育儿故事。这样的叙述是对世界的重大干预,允许被监禁的父亲以特定方式构建他们的身份,同时塑造个人行为。我们的研究,1. 确定参与者提供的重要父亲身份叙述,以及 2. 详细说明此类叙述在监狱中的运作方式,允许我们的参与者推进与监禁动态相关的个人议程。在此过程中,我们提供了对被监禁父亲情况的见解,并推进了犯罪学工作,以了解卷入刑事司法系统的不同行为者如何构思、管理和叙述他们的情况。
