Motherhood Beyond Bars

Our Mission

Motherhood Beyond Bars ensures a healthy start for infants born to incarcerated women by providing a network of comprehensive support for mothers and caregivers.  We support and strengthen families with the goal of long-term, healthy reunification and a permanent end to cycles of incarceration in families. 

Our Vision

Pregnancy and birth should be a time of transformation, not trauma. Every woman should have access to quality care and compassionate childbirth support. Every child born to an incarcerated woman deserves to be bonded from birth and supported by a community of care. Women moving beyond prison should be prepared to parent with confidence.
