Missouri prison nursery opens to bipartisan fanfare with goal of keeping mothers with babies • Missouri Independent
SUMMARY: Tara Carroll, who gave birth while incarcerated in 2022, is now aiding pregnant women in Missouri’s newly launched prison nursery program. This initiative, the 10th in the U.S., aims to support incarcerated mothers by allowing them to bond with their newborns on-site, rather than relinquishing them post-birth. The nursery, featuring soft floors and colorful decor, separates from the main prison area. Eligibility is limited to women with no more than 18 months remaining in their sentence and who lack violent crime histories. The program promises year-long assistance post-release, emphasizing improved maternal and child well-being.
