Prison nurseries prevent maternal separations related to incarceration for the small subset of children whose pregnant mothers are incarcerated in states with such programs. For a cohort of 100 children accepted by corrections into one prison nursery, subsequent separation patterns are analyzed. The largest numbers are caused by corrections' removal of infants from the nursery and infants reaching a one-year age limit. Criminal recidivism and substance abuse relapse threaten continued mothering during reentry. Focused and coordinated services are needed during prison stay and reentry years to sustain mothering for women and children accepted into prison nursery programs.
监狱托儿所可以防止因监禁而导致的母婴分离，这适用于一小部分其怀孕母亲被关押在设有此类项目的州的儿童。对于被惩教部门接纳进入一所监狱托儿所的100名儿童组成的队列，分析了后续的分离模式。最大数量的分离是由惩教部门将婴儿从托儿所带走以及婴儿达到一岁年龄限制导致的。刑事累犯和药物滥用复发威胁到重返社会期间的持续育儿。在服刑期间和重返社会的几年里，需要有针对性和协调性的服务，以维持被接纳进入监狱托儿所项目的妇女和儿童的育儿关系。
