Moms Behind Bars takes you behind the barbed wire to meet incarcerated and recently-released moms, exploring how these women struggle to maintain relationships with their children from behind prison walls.

Wow, what a strong women. I cannot imagine giving my children up for a mistake that i had made. We ALL make mistakes, some worse than others, but we all are imperfect and are trying our best. I am a SAHM and I give her props!
I think it's amazing that she is able to turn this experience around and use it to everyone's advantage. It is clear by the way her children interact with her that she has gained trust with them and that they are well balanced.
I think it is fortunate that the prison system understands the importance of a mother's role in her child's life. And I hope that she finishes her punishment and comes out of this a better person than she would have been if she hadn't gotten caught.
I'm sure that if she was not progressing enough they would not allow her children. I give her credit for taking an active role in their lives.
I hope there are not more people like her in home health care, I'd hate for my parents to have to encounter someone who would steal from them in their old age.
People laugh when they are nervous. She felt the need to explain why her sentence was so long. I wouldn't want to say it either.
She was a struggling single mother who made a bad decision. She mentioned that.
And education would be part of rehabilitation. If she were just caged and released at the end of 18 years I think she may be more likely to commit another crime. Don't you?
I'm sure your son would rather be a free man with a clean conscience than this women.
The reason why the people you dont qualify for financial aid is because they probably make too much money or went to school for too many semesters. These inmates get the opportunity because colleges volunteer to help.Do your research before you comment
The federal government does not provide financial aid to people who are incarcerated. They withdrew their funding a long time age so No your son is not paying for a thing. There are colleges who devote their time and resources to help people who are incarcerated because they believe these people deserve an opportunity. Do your research before you comment
Anael Revil wow you really know your stuff! How do you know this info
I don't even know where to start. First thing that comes to mind is it is really hard to see criminals get the opportunity to go to college, when many people I know cannot even afford college and don't qualify for student aid.
I'm sorry, I'm having a hard time with this video. Yes, I feel for her having to be separated from her kids, but it sounds like she knew she had to care for them when she committed this serious crime in which someone was killed (why'd she laugh when she mentioned how long her sentence was?) Also, she got her degree in prison??? My hardworking son who hasn't committed any crime can't get financial aid for college! What the???! Wow!
I understand and do agree with what you're saying. I think the idea is to break the cycle so that her children have an educated, job ready, mother coming out of prison and also they want to keep her active in her kids' lives. Does that make sense?
@@Gurl-5150why she got pregnant again and she had a 29 week old baby witch is 7 months
18 years is a humane amount of time in a civilized world. When you make a mistake in your life, you too would be grateful and thankful for leiniency and the opportunity to rehabilitate yourselves. She will always have this burden on her shoulders and that alone is punishment, no matter how many educational degrees she attains whilst incarcerated. In reality, she will only be able to work for herself once she has served her time, so give civility a chance. It could happen to anyone...the slippery road is never far away.
Stay strong girlie god forgives and forgets
I really don't see how she did not take accountability. She's in prison, doing her time. There is no praise inferred here. The point is that there are women, in all different situations, being MOTHERS.
If you want father stories I'm sure there is a site for that.
18 years is a slap on the wrists? Whew.
"Convicted of a robbery and someone died in the process " yea no you tortured a poor innocent woman and she died as a result of your horrible treatment. Worst part is you were paid to take care of her. Regardless you deserve everything you had coming.
Isn't that rehabilitation? Isn't that the point of limited prison terms? So they come out and don't commit the same crimes again?
Yes, it is great that she can create a relationship with her children and they receive her mothering ways, but......from prison? In many ways it feels wrong to send children to prison to interact like they are, on the other hand, I'm certain their lives are more enriched by having a relationship with their mother. They would be pretty angry when they get older if they did not have that opportunity and enrichment.
not judging her ok, just saying. I see my son donate over 400 hours of his own time to community services (not court ordered, just out of himself) and there is no governmental reward by way of scholarship for that, meanwhile this woman steals, goes to prison and is rewarded with a college degree most likely paid for by the taxes from people like my son. We live in a backwards world sometimes.
you are judging her lol but nice try
@CafeMomStudios I don't see how you people can do stories like this! She is NO MOTHER! Shes a disgrace of a mother, she has a lack of disreguard for the crimes shes committed and the smirk on her stupid face shows shes not remourseful for what she has done. she put her childerns lives at risk by rasing them in that situation and for your organization to praise this type of behavior shows us what feminism has done to american women...
