 The first one AIM:  Aid to Inmate Mothers. Their mission is “to provide services to Alabama’s incarcerated women with emphasis on enhancing personal growth and strengthening the bonds between inmate mothers and their children” (AIM, 2015). This programs fit well with my community of practice. I can use this program as example how mother are allow to keep their infant in prison.

The second is South Dakota the women’s prison, “they mother infant program allows the mother who gave birth to keep her infant with for 30 days.  Both mother and infant are kept away from the general population. In order to participate the mother has to take a parenting class.  Other education classes for women inmates are one that focuses on child’s behavior from 0 to 18 and a TOT’s program that focus on development of children. There is the PACT (parent and child together) extended visitation.  This program allows the mothers to have their minor children stay with them one weekend a month along with regular visiting hours. Inmates do have to apply for this program.”(Houck. R 2015). (http://doc.sd.gov/adult/facilities/wp/mip.aspx) This program also fit my community practices it also show that program is work for inmates.

The third is “The Prison Birth Project is an organization focused on reproductive justice, working to provide education, support, and advocacy to women at the intersection of the criminal justice system and motherhood. Our goal is to provide tools to help incarcerated and previously incarcerated women make empowering birth choices, and to provide continuous care through the transition into parenting. Previously incarcerated folks, mothers, and those most affected by the issues and mission of The Prison Birth Project are encouraged to volunteer, though all are welcome!”(theprisonbirthproject.org, 2015)

For all these organization their no job opportunities. They all do offer volunteer opportunities in their programs. I found that is great for me because I can learn a lot from each this organization just volunteering my time and helping families.
