5.0 out of 5 stars A "user friendly" guide to dealing with the incarceration, March 4, 2003

Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Family Arrested: How to Survive the Incarceration of a Loved One (Paperback)

Family Arrested by Ann Edenfield is a straightforward, "user friendly" guide to dealing with the incarceration of a loved one. Comprehensive, the information ranges from making bail; to what to expect during a visit to prison; to the illustrative personal experiences of a woman whose husband was sentenced to serve 15 years, Family Arrested is practical, well-researched, and filled from cover to cover with absolute need-to-know information. If you have a jailed or imprisoned friend, spouse, or family member, then give a careful reading to Family Arrested.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Other victim" - family of the prisoner, February 28, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Family Arrested: How to Survive the Incarceration of a Loved One (Paperback)

"Edenfield's Family Arrested is a must read for corrections' administrators, criminal justice students, and the families of defendants who are facing incarceration. In all of my 33 years in law enforcement I never considered what has to be faced by the "other victim" of most crimes - the family of the prisoner."
- Lou Campanozi, Retired Police Chief

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Information for the Families of Inmates, December 1, 2002

James Harmon (Albuquerque, NM United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Family Arrested: How to Survive the Incarceration of a Loved One (Paperback)

This is the only book of its kind that I have been able to find. I have a son that is incarcerated and the information in this book is invaluable. For anyone who has a family member that is incarcerated, this book provides compassionate and informative support. The resources that this book contains are a good survival kit for a family that is experiencing the arrest and imprisonment of a loved one. Ann's personal story will encourage anyone who reads it.
