Although parenting doesn’t stop when a mother goes to prison, the Ohio Reformatory for Women is one of very few prisons that addresses this problem. It has a program for non-violent, short-term offenders, who are pregnant or have infants. These mothers live in a special wing of the prison, where they’re able to have their babies with them in their cells. Between prison roll calls these women are able to take their babies to an in-house nursery for parenting classes and other scheduled activities. It’s hoped that programs like this will make it less likely mothers will commit other crimes. It’s hoped that more family bonds will mean fewer jail bonds.
