Résumé

Des études récentes montrent que plus de 10,1 millions de gens sont emprisonnés dans le monde, la population carcérale ayant augmenté dans 78 pour cent des pays pendant 2009 à 2011 (Walmsley 2011). En Roumanie, L’Administration Nationale des Prisons a annoncé en 2014 un total de 30.156 prisonniers des lesquels 28.577 ont dépassé l’âge de 22 ans. Ces chiffres sont une indication que beaucoup des prisonniers ont des familles et des partenaires à l’extérieur. Les femmes des détenus représentent un sujet qui n’est pas très approché dans la littérature. L’étude que je propose explore l’impact de l’emprisonnement sur les relations maritales et sur le bien-être des femmes Roumaines des prisonniers par des informations collectés recueillies auprès de 13 femmes en utilisant des interviews en profondeur. Les résultats suggèrent que les femmes des détenus ne sont pas affectées seulement par la stigmatisation du rôle d’être la femme d’un détenu, mais plutôt par ce que leurs partenaires ignorent les sentiments et les difficultés que les femmes traversent à l’extérieur.
