Prison

In my opinion this is a very touchy issue. The question here is what rights does a pregnant women have that has been put in jail? Should she be allowed to raise the child in prison or have it taken from her? The touchy part is the reasoning behind her landing herself in jail and her personality. She might be a good person that made just one mistake.
If I had my choice on what should happen to the child I'd say for his or her best interest she should be placed in foster care and have limited visitation with her mother. A child can't grow up in a prison setting. This would be one of the worst places for a child to grow up. Children learn at young ages and absorb much of there surroundings. How could a child grow up well if all the people they say are in jail?
It wouldn't be fair for the child to live in this setting. Say perhaps the wardens decide to favor the child and other inmates get jealous. This could lead in problems for the mother or even worse for the child. The best decision for the child would be to live away from this surrounding and hopefully after she's fully rehabilitated back into society she can join her mother.
