“…No participants were first time mothers having between two and four children with the oldest age 12 years old. The literature review is consistent with the sample group in that incarcerated women usually have children left behind to be cared for by others whether the foster care system, family members, or others (Byrne et al, 2012;Freitas et al, 2016;Rose & LeBel, 2016). Further demographic information on the participants can be found in Table 2.…”

“…The incarcerated mother faces many other stressors as well. Many of the mother-inmates have older children being cared for by family members, intimate partners, or the foster care system, and this separation can cause increased stress even if they are in a prison nursery unit with their youngest child (Byrne, Goshin, & Blanchard-Lewis, 2012;Freitas, Inacio, & Saavedra, 2016;Rose & LeBel, 2016). The stress can affect the maternal-child bond, child developmental outcomes, and the mother's physical and emotional health (Arditti, 2014;Byrne et al, 2012;Goshin, Byrne, & Blanchard-Lewis, 2014).…”

To discuss the knowledge gained and future implications for incarcerated parents and community members through the development and implementation of a standardized health education and promotion module for incarcerated mothers. A descriptive pilot study with a convenience sample of incarcerated mothers enrolled in a prison nursery program. A Midwestern women's nursery program. The health education and promotion module was presented in a series of four group sessions. A posttest format was utilized to examine if knowledge acquisition perceived coping strategies and satisfaction with the health education and promotion module. The incarcerated mothers did acquire knowledge and were able to list coping strategies that would help them individually reduce stress while incarcerated. Also, the participants expressed interest in other health education topics.

“…As it is remarked in UK where pregnancy and childbirth among women prisoners denoting infants' rights in custodial rights is under-researched (Abbott et al, 2020), the same situation is in Burundi (Nyabenda & Sindayigaya, 2023;Sindayigaya, 2023b;Sindayigaya & Nyabenda, 2022). Thinking about the very cause of letting the child, it is only justified by the single aim of targeting the child's best interest (Abbott et al, 2020;Freitas et al, 2016;Nyabenda & Sindayigaya, 2023;Sindayigaya, 2020Sindayigaya, , 2023bSindayigaya & Nyabenda, 2022). Since this is the provision of all instruments regarding custodial life (United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders (the Bangkok Rules); United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Nelson Mandela Rules)), it is hard to understand to measure this in comparison to infants' life when they are with their mothers at Mpimba central prison.…”

The children's right to clothes is one of the social children's rights that countries must assist parents in their implementation according to Article 20 §2. A. of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child and Article 27 §3 and 4 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The only condition required to have this obligation is the poverty situation of the parents causing them incapable of fulfilling it. Among this category mothers in jail are the most recognized. This is balanced with the provisions of Mandela's Rules the same as Bangkok Rules defining that an infant is accepted to reside with her/his incarcerated mother in the sense of achieving her/his best interest. This article aims to inquire about the way children's right to clothes is implemented when the child lives beside her/his incarcerated mother. We used a semi-structured interview with 31 mothers imprisoned at Mpimba Central Prison in Bujumbura Hall City, Burundi. Data was collected with papers on which we marked responses in multiple-choice as we had established them. Data were analyzed with Microsoft Excel, and International Business Machine Corporation-Social Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS) 25, and "Zotero digital research platform" referencing throughout this research. Results show that a maximum of infants have a single kit of clothes, and do not have a kit to wear in leisure moments. Only parents must provide them with clothes or wait for their relatives to do so. No governmental assistance is spoken about in this area of children's right to clothes.

Prison and Community PenaltiesSocial control in the form of enacting punishment is one of the primary emblems of state power. As well as affecting the individuals who experience it, punishment sends a message to the wider community and demonstrates the authority of the state. 'Grand theorising' about the role punishment, particularly imprisonment, in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries has emphasised the connection between the political and economic order and the way social control is enacted. Frequently, this grand theorising has ignored or underplayed the significance of gender (Bosworth & Kaufman, 2012). Race has been better integrated into 'grand theories', although its intersections with gender have not (Baldry & Cunneen, 2014). Gender is central to understanding punishment in two ways: the politics that underpin punishment are gendered; and the practice of punishment is a form of gendered governance.Strategies of punishment based on control and containment exemplify a masculinist vision of 'tough' state power, which dismisses alternative approaches as soft and effeminate (Kohler-Hausmann, 2017). Kohler-Hausmann argues that in the context of the United States, this gendered politics has drawn on racialised and gendered tropes of dangerous Black
