This study aimed to investigate the differences in subjective family experience and psychological function according to whether former prisoners were raised by parents and are currently connected with their family. Subjective family experiences included experiences of family support, parent attachment, and childhood abuse. Psychological functions included empathy, ego-resilience, will for self sufficiency, and stress coping strategy. According to MANOVA results, former prisoners who are currently connected to their family and were raised by parents have higher psychological functions, less experience of childhood abuse, and more parent attachment than those who have lost contact with their family or were not raised by parents. This study is meaningful in that it revealed that former prisoners’ connection with their family in the present and in childhood is related to various psychological resources in addition to the subjective perception of their family.
