Do you think Prison Nursery Should Be Banned..?

[.Joshua.]

Yes.. really. Social Services and the police can't reach everyone in the world who are abusing their children can they?

I'm not saying they can.. Becca, i'm not even going to start an argument with you.

Why should a mother be given another chance? I find it totally selfish to know the consequences of getting caught but commit the crime anyway when you have a child. And anyway, if she's as messed up as to get herself thrown in prison, what would she teach the baby? How to pick locks? How to smuggle drugs? To commit fraud the easy way? If she is weak enough to commit a crime large enough to be put in jail, she doesn't deserve to have something as precious as her child in her life.

If you could teach a baby to pick locks, smuggle drugs and commit fraud then well done. I can't even get babies to talk.

I grew up without knowing my mother and I turned out just fine. It doesn't matter who brings you up, it's how they bring you up. Most women can give birth, but it takes something much more to actually become a mother. To me, a mother is the woman who looks after a child and puts a plaster on its knee when they get a cut, or sings them back to sleep after a nightmare. A mother is someone who cares, yes?

The fact that the mother in jail is choosing to keep the child and have it put into a Prison Nursery instead of an orphanage shows that they care doesn't it? At least they're making an effort.

If Prison Nurseries didn't exist, the child would go to another member of the family/family friend/adoption. Not be left on the street.

It's not an argument, it's a debate.

Well no you dont say.. if it wasnt a debate why would i post it here..

Are you being serious? Maybe that person was pregnant before she even committed a crime? Maybe this woman was committed and ready to have a child then something happened? It's selfish for you to say that nevermind calling them selfish for bringing a baby into the world. So what if it's being brought up in a Prison Nursery, least it's still being looked after and fed unlike some babies that aren't even in jail so yeah, shut up xox

You talk as if you were brought up in a prison nursery l o l

what's saying your mother bringing you up in there doesn't care, she can sing to you and care for you regardless of where you are. a mother is also someone who stocks by you through thick or thin, with prison nurseries the mum has to consider if it would harm their child and whether it's the best option if they feel it right then it shows the mother didn't abandon them if not (depending the length of the sentence) the child could grow up not knowing their mother but may also feel that abandonment.

I don't think they should be banned, it would be torture itself if a mother couldn't see her child, you never know she could be wrongly convicted too so it wouldn't be fair to deny access to her child or children, like others have said something could have happened since she got pregnant which drove her too it - now im not saying that issues a crime at all but I believe a child does need that mother figure and.I'd prefer the real one.

Yeah I guess. I am pretty biased I suppose, and I just think it would be wrong because a mother who takes illegal drugs but doesn't get put in prison often gets her child taken away from her and sometimes even has a restraining order put in place, but a mother who does get put in prison gets another chance? This makes no sense to me :S
