In 2007, the Illinois Department of Corrections introduced the “Moms and Babies” program at Decatur Center, allowing female inmates to stay with their newborns in a prison nursery after giving birth (Lourgos, 2019). In 2018, Logan Correctional Center started allowing one designated “birthing support person” to be present during labor and birth and up to one hour after the infant is born (Lourgos, 2019). In February 2019, Logan opened a special housing unit to provide a more humane and safer environment for expectant and postpartum inmates (Lourgos, 2019). These inmates have their rooms and can freely move around the pregnancy wing. They are also provided with comfortable bedding, unrestricted access to telephones and video phones to call their children’s caretakers, and healthy snacks (Lourgos, 2019). Finally, pregnant inmates are also required to receive educational training about prenatal care and parenting skills.
