N2 - The article derives from an interview with Corin Morgan-Armstrong, the architect of Invisible Walls, an innovative model of whole-family support for people in prison, their children and families/significant others in the community. This groundbreaking approach not only aims to improve reintegration outcomes for the person leaving prison, but expands the focus to include all family members as equal beneficiaries of support to improve family relationships, their quality of life, and disrupt the intergenerational cycles of disadvantage and trauma in which many of these families are entrenched. The reader is provided with insight into Corin's journey to see beyond the person in prison, recognising him in his role as a father and inspiring a holistic approach which involves family, children and community to support lasting change and improve ‘whole family’ outcomes beyond simply reducing reoffending.
