"Mr President, many women in prison have a background of violence and abuse, which can make it difficult for them to create stable relationships – which in the end is truly what they need.
Our goal should not only be the social integration of prisoners, but their personal development. And here, of course, comes the issue of children. Separation of a mother and her baby in prison often occurs just hours after birth. This will immediately have an impact on any chance for a wholesome relationship between the two. In order to ultimately create that special mother-child bond, it is necessary for both to grow together. And the only way in which two will grow together in a healthy and normal way is by keeping them together wherever possible and creating a supported and secure environment for them to live in.
To separate a mother and baby is to set their relationship up for failure. Why would we do this, when what most of these women need most is a stable, loving relationship in their life?"@en1
