Reviews
"Holding On is a compelling read that will be useful particularly to policymakers and activists who need evidence toward prison reform and program funding allocations." * Gender & Society *
"Holding On is a hopeful and empathic book that packs significant policy-relevant analysis into a slim volume." * Men and Masculinities *
"Holding On is a must-read for policymakers and prison administrators. It is accessible enough for use in undergraduate and graduate sociology, policy, and psychology courses. It is also an invaluable resource for academics interested in the complex ways that incarceration and reentry impact our nation's families." * Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books *
"Holding On: Family and Fatherhood During Incarceration and Reentry is a must-read for anyone interested in families, relationships, fatherhood, and the trying effects on each of incarceration. It is a seminal, deeply thoughtful, and methodical book that sets the stage for what is possible when the realms of criminological studies and family studies converge."
