3:19 am
>> reporter: inside the woman's prison in maryland, you'll find 800 inmates and every other saturday a dozen or so girl scouts. that's because all the girls in troop 7856 have something in common. every girl has a mother who is incarcerated. the troop holds their meetings inside the prison's gym. inside, those convicted wait for the innocent. among them kamisha lofton, sentenced to eight years in prison for robbery and stalking. her daughter, diamani, now 12, was 8 at the time. >> i'm a single mom, so it was really tough for me. i think the most challenging part is to see your child grow up and you're not actually there to experience some of the difficulties. >> reporter: the girl scouts beyond bars program changes that, allowing the girls to bond with their mothers. the prison's warden allows approved mothers time away from
3:20 am
their cells to participate. >> it's very meaningful to the daughter because yes, she knows mom's in prison. but once they hit that gym, it just -- it really does give mom the opportunity to be the mother, but it gives the daughter the opportunity to have a mother. >> every year she gets a lot older, so it's like i'm missing out on something very important. >> reporter: once a year the girl scouts are able to spend the night with their moms here inside of the prison's gym. for some moms who gave birth while incarcerated it's the first time mom and daughter get to spend the night together. >> this girl scout program gives you that time to bond and still be a mom. >> reporter: past the barbed wires and prison doors for just a few hours, a sense of normalcy. >> reporter: while to the outside world these women are inmates, to the ones they love most, they are just moms. >> just because you made a mistake doesn't stop the fact that you're a mom.
3:21 am
>> yeah, and in more than 25 years the beyond bars program has served more than 400 girls whose mothers have been incarcerated. it's important to note no taxpayer money is used to fund the program. the girl scouts raise money through grants and those cookie sales inside the prison. >> this is an incredible story. i think it's so fascinating that this prison is helping do that. because as you were just telling us, in a regular visitation, these moms wouldn't be able to have this kind of interaction with their children, with their daughters. >> right, and something that's really important too that the warden pointed out to me is that most of these women eventually will return back to society. and so this program is really aimed at lessening the impact that a child feels when their mother is sentenced to prison. and you see the effects there. diamani, the girl we profiled, her grades plummeted at first when her mother was sentenced and they've seen that turn around as a result of this program. >> something struck me, you see the innocent going there for those who have been convicted. for these women who are paying their debt to society, being
