What Life Is Like For Children Who Are Raised In Prison

Mothers Are Warned To Avoid Bad Behavior

Mom Joyce Browning gave birth to twins at Bedford and wanted to raise them in prison. However, when they were about four months old, Browning got into an argument with one of the guards, and they sent her babies away. “Everything happened fast. They just came to my room… told me I had to pack up,” Browning recalled. “It was very, very upsetting, very stressful. I would cry in my room.” Fortunately, the twins’ father was able to take care of them. But Browning spent every day worrying about them: “Even though they were with family, it’s just still that thought that runs through your mind. Are they safe?”
