What Life Is Like For Children Who Are Raised In Prison

Moms At Bedford Take Parenting Classes

At Bedford, mothers spend every single day with their children. In fact, McDougall and her son Max never spent a day apart from one another. When she completed the chores she was required to do each day, McDougall acted as a full-time single mom. She bathed, diapered, and nursed her son. These activities helped the pair bond and form a strong relationship. The mothers at the facility are also able to participate in classes to help them be good parents. “As much as I hate being here, this has really helped me, being a mother. The motivation to get up every day,” McDougall explained.
