    It really broke my heart,
    I suffer from two disorders, bipolar mood disorder from 19,and parkinson from 39 ,I am now 47.
    I lost many opportunities, I was very smart , with very good grades in high school.
    Now I am single,unemployed, but not alone ,having a very very supportive family from the beginning.
    But I realized that there are people who are really helpless and alone.
    I realized for the first time I am not the most unfortunate person.
    And it is not just a soothing slogan to hear there are really people much more unfortunate than you.

    Extremely hard to watch and extremely important. It has been this way in the USA for decades. I contributed to the research of a report published in 1999 documenting the shackling of pregnant and labouring women in custody in the USA, as well as poor health provision, sexual abuse by prison staff and the isolation of women in high security (Not Part of My Sentence). The human rights violations that occur within the US criminal justice system are a travesty that the world continues to turn a blind eye to.

      Pretty sure jail saved almost or all of these babies from being born addicted. A lot of these woman were using drugs knowing they were pregnant, house arrest and someone checking up on them isn’t going to keep them from using. Yes, they can still use in jail, but it’s not as easy to use in there because drugs in jail are expensive, they drug test them so they will get caught and then be monitored more frequently and tested more often, punished and possibly segregated to keep them from using. These mothers having access to treatment classes and parenting classes is the best thing for them. I think they should be allowed to keep their babies in prison with them. Some states allow it and I think it strengthens the bond the mother has with the baby. On the outside they may have other things keeping them from spending that much time and if they don’t get help they may still use after giving birth further distancing themselves from the newborn and causing them to not have an as deep attachment. When you see the mothers that are in the program that allows them to stay with their baby in prison they grow extremely close to them. They have nothing else to distract them, their whole life in their revolves around the baby. They build a relationship that I think will help them stay focused and realize all the reasons they should stay clean and the motivation to do the work for their baby. I’m sure it doesn’t make everyone change, but I think it is the best option out of the two.

    There is a real problem in this country regarding mental health and substance abuse care. There is a real lack of resources for victims of domestic abuse. These women deserves love and support and help. They have never known self love. They have never known self worth. Throwing them away and locking up the key is no solution. I do admire what this prison has done to implement these resources for pregnant women, I really do. Not once, however, did I hear anything about the mother themselves being worthy of love, hope and change. These women need to know that they aren’t just being treated special because they are cranking out a baby. They are only being treated well until they aren’t pregnant anymore. The women in this video should be treated well because they are humans worthy of love, not because they are carrying a baby. In my humble opinion, this is another example of conditional love. We are caring about you because you have a baby inside you. We are treating you special because you are pregnant. We only love you until the baby is out of you. Once you give birth, you don’t get special treatment anymore. That screams, we only love you when you have something to offer or a purpose to serve. The problem starts long before these women were old enough to make their own decisions. Mental health and substance abuse in this country are just dispicable. Private prison for profit is where you go if you are poor in America and have the obstacles. These women have been shit on all their lives. They have never been given the opportunity to be anything other than drug addicts and prisoners and someone’s toy to abuse.

    I managed to keep myself together almost to the end but what finally got me was seeing so many women come and comfort Elijah's mom when she got back. I could almost hear her pain. If you've ever seen the film about Chess Records and Muddy Waters and his crew there's the scene when the harmonica player dies. When Muddy finally goes up to the bathroom and closes the door there then comes a wail like nothing I've ever heard. It is true pain, true friendship, true love that comes from the deepest places within Muddy Waters' soul. Even his pain can't come close to the pain of a woman whose child has been forcibly taken from her at birth.

    I started watching this to see if I'd see anyone I recognized. (I ran with the "wrong crowd" for a long time, and I live in Southern Alabama, so I know a few women in tuttwiler). But the content was so captivating that I forgot to even look. I was full on bawling by the end. This is so unfair to everyone, the mom, the child, the jail (moms are depressed, depression leads to more problems for the staff, ect), the state (foster care is already overwhelmed), literally everyone involved except those at the very top who's pockets are getting fatter. As a mother of 2, I cannot imagine being ripped away from my child 24 hours after birth. That is literally insane in my mind. Not to mention the medical consequences for both mother and baby. I know I was in the hospital a full 72 hours with each birth, and even then I had trouble walking more than a short distance by myself. I can't imagine being forced back into the rules and structure of prison, where you're only allowed x amount of pads a day, no breastpada if you leak, you leak, no Tylenol or ibuprofen to take the edge off, no heating pad, or ice pack, or cabbage leaves. The risk of infection has got to be absolutely insanely high. Can you imagine giving birth, getting stitched up, and then 24 hours later forced to shower in the same shower that a thousand other women shower in dairy, that isn't cleaned with any proper sanitization? I'm surprised any of them stay healthy. That to me just screams infection, which of course the staff ignores until it's almost too late, which quite probably caused long term problems. The whole thing is absolutely insane. We HAVE to do better America. This IS NOT the way it should be done. This does nothing but cause problems and long-term issues for everyone. This is going to eat at me for days. How can I as an individual help? What can I do to change this? This HAS TO STOP. And not just this, but we're incarcerating broken, damaged people, not criminals. They need help, not prison. We as a society HAVE to do better!

Seen them be told they have family that has died and not get to go to the funeral and on and on. They don’t get to see them when they sign away parental rights in prison. It’s at a desk, just them and paperwork. Had a girl file on sexual (not unusual) advances from guards from point A to point B while shackled on ankles and wrist cuffs.

      Birth control and prevention is free way less expensive than an abortion..... that was created r ed to be a last resort.... not because you are poor...... i was a criminal had one kid..... didn't go in and out of jail with numerous kids..... how'd I do that?? Birth control

      Tutwiler is the only women's prison in the state of Alabama. I was there, for crimes I did not commit. My time is over now. I served for somebody else's crimes. I wouldn't have a problem saying I was guilty if I was, but I wasn't. That's what makes it harder, knowing you shouldn't be there and the one who did the crime you are serving for is free on the street. We really have a sad "justice" system.

    Back in the early 2000’s, My Church done Ministry work in this Prison. I got to actually work with many of Women in this Prison from all walks of life. I really hope that this Prison has improved so much since then. This Women’s Prison was one, if not the worst, in the Nation. I also was Blessed to work in the Adullam House, which houses children of incarcerated mothers while in Prison. This is a True Calling of Mine to get to share the love of God with these Women, regardless of what they have done, because We are all still God’s Children.
