Born Behind Bars dives into the untold stories of pregnancy and motherhood in prison. In this episode, we hear from Simone, a mother of 2 who gave birth just three weeks before starting her sentence, she opens up about the pain of separation and what it’s really like to be a new mum in prison. Midwife and researcher Dr. Laura Abbott shares what she’s learned from working inside prisons with women. Plus, theatre company Clean Break talks about the powerful play they have created about these experiences.
