title: Children behind bars.
abstract: Over half the women serving prison sentences are mothers--many with dependent children under 16. Three women's prisons have special mother and baby units but there is little provision for the majority of women prisoners to maintain contact with their children. Campaigners say too little thought is given to the rights of the children.
