Abstract

Motherhood is one of the most important and transformative moments in a woman’s life. It is a period that requires extreme care and attention from the mother in order to promote the physical, psychological and social well-being of her baby. The representation of a favorable environment for pregnancy in which the mother finds herself in a situation of tranquility and well-being while nurturing a new life is not the reality in the prison system. In addition, there is the fear of separation from the child, which can be painful and harmful for both incarcerated mothers and their babies. Considering all these frustrations, fears and the history of these women, it is essential that there be a space for listening, sharing and counseling within prisons.
