Families of prisoners are left behind to deal with life without their loved ones. For the married issues of abandonment, loneliness and lack of physical and emotional intimacy wreak havoc on the relationship. Most marriages don’t survive beyond the first year of incarceration. The decision to leave an imprisoned spouse can be hard but a divorce may be needed. A free spouse may not be able to put their lives on hold for years. They may find it better to move on.
