ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to understand the experiences of pregnant people and new parents in Canadian federal prisons for women, and to better understand their ability to participate in the institutional Mother Child Program.METHODS:
This qualitative case study used semi-structured interviews with people who experienced federal incarceration during pregnancy or the early parenting years.FINDINGS:
Major themes in the analysis include 1) Reasons why- and why not- to participate in the Mother Child Program; 2) Mothering from inside; 3) Health care; and 4) Strategies and survival. KEYCONCLUSIONS:
Mothers describe multiple reasons for choosing not to participate or being ineligible for the Mother Child Program; separation as common and traumatic; health services as inadequate; and mental health concerns being met with punishment. Alternatives to incarceration are recommended.
