Meet The Most Dangerous Moms In America: Inside Indiana's Women's Prison

[@cecyliadudek3135]

That female guard in the hospital after the first lady's c-section 100% made me cry. She's seeing the good from these people and she seems to love doing it.

[@TruckerChick]

8 kids?? Time for Heather to have her baby making parts removed. Seems to me she needs to be locked up for her mental issues.

[@orellagillette2484]

Heather isn’t going to succeed. She’s already making excuses for the guy she ‘thinks’ might be the father.

[@wambaofivanhoe9307]

I agree, unfortunately.

[@daisysmum7336]

My thought as well. Sad for everyone.

[@PositiveRaincloud]

Heather is deluded, and it's no wonder she's in prison with her incredibly stupid choices. What kind of mother would want a man who works in a meth lab in her daughters life. Perfect example of why CPS exists.

[@teamcougars]

The Amish family is so incredibly sweet she’s in a great foster family ❤❤

[@svenjan.5050]

Feel so sorry for them. Especially Iesha. She was a victim of abuse and defended herself and she‘s got punished while he is getting away with it? Unbelieveable - what a double standard. Living in a men‘s world…

[@sunfirefire45]

The reason it was not self-defense is because she stabbed him multiple times. Self-defense is when reasonable force is used for when you believe you might get harmed; if she stabbed him once and then he left her alone, that is self-defense, but it sounds like she kept on stabbing him even when he stopped hitting her.

[@svenjan.5050]

@ Thanks for explaining. But still it seems to be a situation of injustice. Maybe she couldn‘t prove the violence of her partner or whatever. I did not really get the context. But it sounds like quite a typical situation for women who experience violence at home. I know, most of the times these things are difficult to prove, but too often men don‘t believe women and don‘t listen until it‘s too late.

[@backagain5216]

[@Nicole-oi6il]

I got a different vibe from her. She seems like someone who feels entitled.

[@svenjan.5050]

@@backagain5216 I‘m not saying that she‘s innocent, but the punishment seems quite heavy to me considering the circumstances. And her ex partner should get his punishment too, right? Sounded to me that people didn‘t believe her or take her seriously. But of course we don‘t know the whole story. But after watching some documentaries about women in prison in the US I get the impression that the punishment is quite heavy. Especially for prostitution. Why don‘t men get punished? Where is equality there? But also the woman who killed her husband. Obviously she‘s guilty. But sentenced to death/60 years considering the violent circumstances? That’s just my impression…

[@beach_1414]

Why in gods earth would you have 8 children you can’t take care of ??? Ya she’ll do great in foster care r u kidding??

[@Shycrochetqueen]

The baby has good foster parents

[@Lizzie-h3j]

The first girl was so distressed that her mother in law didn't make it I'm so glad that even as a prison guard she did her best to comfort her. Having a baby is terrifying enough without it being a c-section with no support. Where's she going to go exactly? I love that the guard stepped up for her I know she's in jail but she still a human being and the baby did not ask to be born into these circumstances.

[@SandiByrd]

37:30 "But he never did it around me and he never did it at home" don't EVER give this woman her children Jesus Christ......that's terrifying. Still pretending her meth head ex is a good person and not dangerous. I hope that Amish family adopts her.

[@vickiperry5690]

Thank you. Perhaps I'm just a big baby, but I cried through the program. The thought of these women having to let go of their babies broke my heart. I, for one, am cheering each of them on to a better life. Negative people are so draining, I avoid them.

[@Indiartworks]

This is a sad situation, for sure and I cannot imagine being separated from my children, but I'm glad at least some of the Mother's and babies will have the opportunity to bond

[@miaowmail]

When dairy cows give birth the baby cow is ripped away immediately so that humans can have cows milk. It’s an incredibly cruel situation- anyone compassionate needs to live vegan . You talked about human babies being ripped from their mothers and lacking the opportunity to bond. It’s the same for cows. They moo non stop when their calf is taken

[@presleydrewery2729]

​@@miaowmail😂😂😂are you actually joking right now??? Sure it's super sad that that happens but cows and humans are not the same at all. That's insane to compare human children being taken from their parents. I'm literally shocked that someone would make such a comparison

[@Ccamero123]

Heather is messed up big time.

[@idontcare70]

Nearly all females are capable of getting pregnant, not so many are capable of being a good mom.

[@Lizzie-h3j]

Maybe they've not seen what and how it is to be a good mother. Instead of judging go and help at parenting group as your the perfect parent in your own mind.

[@Ccamero123]

Some of the mean comments on here make me ill. Don’t want women having abortions but don’t want to help them either.

[@minigirl6839]

Why can't women use birth control? There's many types available, and in most cases they can obtain it for free. Abortion should never be used as birth control. Period. In most states now, it is considered murder, double murder, if someone takes the life of a pregnant woman. The courts consider the child as a life,not a clump of cells. Women should be responsible and help themselves. Good grief! She's had EIGHT kids, she's in prison and doesn't even know some of them. She needs to be fixed so it can't happen to anymore children. She obviously isn't responsible enough to use birth control or stay out of jail. How do you suggest that she be " helped"? The Amish couple is helping her, the system is trying to rehabilitate her, she obviously didn't have to pay for her hospital bill. It looks like everyone is helping her. Perhaps she needs to help herself. 🙄

[@kellysheridan3149]

No child should be raised in prison!!!!!

[@ChantalsBulgingEyebrow]

if it lowers the amount of people who go back into prison after being released and lowers the children’s chances of being incarcerated yes it is a good choice

[@kellysheridan3149]

@ChantalsBulgingEyebrow no sorry

[@Nicole-oi6il]

These women say they feel bad and miss their children but how many will reoffend once they are released? I only have sympathy for the babies and children.

When 'baby daddy' is common in your vocabulary, you're screwingup.

[@DianneSmith-wb6ms]

It's so important to keep mums and babies together. That bond is so critical. It's cruel to separate them. If they have been violent to their children and there's a risk of them hurting their babies then no. But if the risk isn't there then let them bond with their babies.

[@svenjan.5050]

Why do women get punished for prostitution???

[@sunfirefire45]

because prostitution is illegal in the U.S.

[@svenjan.5050]

@@sunfirefire45 Yes, but I don‘t get why. Why do the women get punished while for men it is okay to go to a prostitute? Or is that illegal too? Women who prostitute themselves are often in need. The only argument for illegalization of prostitution is to protect the women. But to me this does not look like protecting the women at all but to blame them instead for something that isn‘t their fault.

[@Plainolcountryboy]

Decease control

[@stubbs322]

@@svenjan.5050 it is heavily the womans fault for choosing to prostitute her body for money. it is also against the law for anyone to hire a prostitute. both are illegal. prostitution is illegal for many reasons. Most obvious because its an easy way to spread stds/diseases. But its also extremely dangerous. People who sell their bodies are putting themselves and others in great danger. Its not a safe thing to do. Many women lose their lives to prostitution every yr.

[@Morthrax]

The men are also arrested for soliciting a prostitute.

[@little_threads_of_grace]

I am so glad to see a program like this exists. I can imagine that it would decrease recidivism. And babies need their mothers, to nurse and be held so they have a good start to life. It doesn't seem right to have a child older than two there though.

[@bethe.2489]

Yes the woman are being punished as they should but why punish the innocent babies…….I do feel the newborns who the mothers are allowed to keep should be allowed to keep their babies for the first year!

[@Birdie.922]

I think this program is extraordinary! These mothers are getting assistance during a very stressful time. I would guess that they are less likely to return to prison.

I think it should be on an individual case. If you were raped you had no choice and baby should not be punished but I don’t like the idea of us supporting the others and giving them everything they need when there are mothers outside that are struggling to provide for their babies and don’t get help. Some of these prisoners don’t deserve to have babies.

[@Cheyennney]

I think it is case by case though. It’s non violent offenders. I think most of them are just drug offenders or of the like. I kind of don’t believe babies should be in a prison anyway though. They don’t know any better but it’s sort of just a sad and miserable place. Very torn on this.

[@dhayden1981]

Whether or not I committed a crime, if I was pregnant, and given the opportunity to keep my child, I would say YES, please. THere are too many kids who are forced to live without 1 or both parents. If they dont have family to go to, or family friends...these kids end up in foster care and nobody knows if the child will be safe or not. Bad things happen in foster care. Not all foster care families are horrible, but some are only in it for the money. Now unless the mother/father is violent, that's a different story because you got to protect the baby. Bottom line!

[@miaowmail]

Why are they releasing prisoners at midnight?! Why not 9am when it’s daylight and things are open!

You got to set a good example for your babies and kids. That’s the best gift you can give them is you.

I grew up 6 blocks from this prison. That facility is nestled right between two city streets of houses on the near easy side of Indianapolis. As a child, sometimes at night my family would pile into the car and drive very slowly down the alley behind. Dad would flash his lights to say hello to a relative of his that was in there. Too bad this place hasn’t gone out of business

The prison funds everything whilst the baby's are with their mothers - so there's no pressure on them financially. I'd love to know, once Mum & baby are released, how they manage. To suddenly be responsible for paying for their needs plus the babies must be a reality check. Does this put them in immediate poverty? I have questions! Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

Do fathers get their kids in prison? Does a baby need to pay for the parents crimes? Maybe mom in one prison and dad in another can share joint custody. I am happy they get to be in the childrens lives. I’m not so sure about children staying in prison even if it’s a non violent crime, is a short sentence, the child won’t remember it.
