Incarcerated moms get to keep their newborns with them in a brand-new facility.
The Ohio Reformatory For Women is the first and only prison in the state to offer a nursery for babies born to incarcerated moms—and tomorrow they’ll be opening the doors to a new multi-million dollar dormitory to help new moms learn parenting skills and bond with their babies.
The previous facility was a locked unit near the prison’s reception area. It had a large window for officers to keep an eye on what was going on inside, but also allowed new inmates to do the same, which often unnerved the moms. Since the space wasn’t originally designed to be a nursery, the walls between rooms didn’t go up to the ceiling, meaning that one crying baby usually led to a lot more.
