Pathways to, conditions and consequences of incarceration for women 2013, para. 76 | Aug 19, 2019 | Paragraph | Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences | Non-negotiated soft law | Special Procedures' report | Preparing children who have remained with their mothers in prison for integration back into society is a crucial step towards their ability to adjust to life outside, particularly for those who were born in prison or have no memory of life before prison. One report on India states that Many children born in prison have never experienced normal family life up to the age of four-five years. The socialization pattern of children gets severely affected due to their stay in prison. Their only image of a male authority figure is that of the police and prison officials. They are unaware of the concept of a "home". Boys sometimes talk in the female gender, having grown up only among women in the female ward. Sights like animals on roads frighten these children because of lack of exposure to the outside world. |
