Babies Behind Bars

Soledad O'Brien produced a documentary, Babies Behind Bars about the ten percent of women entering prison who are pregnant. Scores of others have children left behind.

Soledad explores solutions to America’s broken prison families, including a program at Washington Corrections Center for Women that keeps mothers and babies together while they both grow — in their separate ways. Could this be the answer to the problem of broken families?

Soledad also gave this TEDx talk on the subject.
