Do you think children of women prisoners are better off “living with mom” inside prisons?
Children living in prison with their Mothers rattle off what they like best about their community: the mess hall, their friends, the food, the paint — and, for many, just “living with mom.”
They’re living with mom, however, inside the Women’s Correctional Facility in La Paz, Bolivia. There are about 250 prisoners here — and also 100 kids. In fact, the country’s lock-ups house more than 1,400 children behind electrified, fence-topped walls and below shotgun-guarded towers. Among the prisoner-mothers at the Women’s Correctional Facility is Andrea Virginia Tapia, who has been behind bars for four years and is expected to be released next year. (She won’t discuss her crime.) “Above all in this life, I am a mother,” says Tapia, who is in her 30s and is the mother of seven kids, four of whom live in the prison with her.

that would depend on what is outside the prison gates for the children, maybe they want to be with thier mothers and have more stabilioty in the prison , it depends on what alternative there is for them
as a very young baby it would be best to stay with mum
