DOC also operates a residential nursery at RMSC where eligible mothers can remain with their infants until the child's first birthday.
Participation in the nursery program is completely voluntary.
Not all individuals who are eligible want to participate, and admission decisions consider the best interest of the child.
The program supports early bonding and parental care with an early educational counselor helping mothers meet their baby's needs.
We recognize that pregnancy and early parenthood can be especially difficult during incarceration.
These programs help women in our care access practical guidance, personal support, and opportunities to build and maintain their relationships with their children during a very difficult time.
And we're proud to offer them.
