The present paper aims to explore whether a prison literacy project,  Bedtime stories from inside,  can contribute to improving and maintaining relationships between incarcerated fathers and their children. The analysis is focused on the concepts “doing family” and “affinities”. The material consists of anonymous evaluation forms from the incarcerated fathers (70) and the carers (46). The results show that deeper familial connections are possible when fathers are allowed to interact with their children in a way that includes attending to practicalities like reading fairy tales to their children. The family practices within the project contribute to challenging norms of masculinity and overcoming impulses to shut down emotionally. The project highlights the need for the prison system and social work practice to support families in the hard work of forming and maintaining connections.
