The over 26,700 mothers in U.S. prisons are a nursing concern. Incarceration disrupts families and affects mothers, children, and caregivers alike. Outcomes of prison parenting programs include improved self-esteem, behavioral expectations, empathy, discipline, family roles, relationships, and a commitment to avoid substance abuse and reincarceration, all beneficial to families and society. Nurses can voice support for prison policies that support the mother-child relationship and can help to meet the needs both of children whose mothers are incarcerated and women who were previously incarcerated.
美国监狱中有超过26700名母亲，这是护理领域所关注的问题。监禁会破坏家庭，对母亲、孩子和照顾者都会产生影响。监狱育儿项目的成果包括自尊的提升、行为期望、同理心、纪律、家庭角色、人际关系，以及避免药物滥用和再次入狱的承诺，所有这些都对家庭和社会有益。护士可以表达对支持母婴关系的监狱政策的支持，并有助于满足母亲被监禁的孩子以及曾被监禁女性的需求。
