Authors

Abstract

The note argues that traditional incarceration of mothers can have detrimental effects on both the women and their children, advocating for alternative correctional methods such as in-prison day care programs. These alternatives aim to maintain the mother-child bond, reduce recidivism, and mitigate the negative societal impacts of separating mothers from their children.
