well i wouldn't say that his life is difficult that he's deprived of something he has everything that he needs he gets medical care and he's given an upbringing he's that well and what's more his mother is with him i haven't robbed him of anything. do you think being here together with children with your son helps you. before is it difficult for you. are you asking if my child helps me or bothers me how can my child bother me he's my life my soul i live only for him. attention residential zones or dead inspection is now did you notice there's own duty arcturus court all in may so they sent old yard in an older man out for
4:31 pm
examination i repeat received two yards for inspection. say hi sasha hello sweetheart yes. i'm here to finish filming a story about you this year and xander is now a t.v. star alexander i ready for filming yes yes yes he is ready look how he's sticking his head up convict marina gushing over most almost all the mothers and children in this prison colony she's been allowed to set up a small t.v. studio behind bars because she used to be a journalist. before going to jail marina hosted a crime news t.v. program now she mostly makes films about children born behind bars. kids living in a prison colony is a very disturbing subject and
4:32 pm
a sore topic for many but on the other hand it's a completely different world here a world of childhood a world of happiness the irony is that it's behind barbed wire services during visiting hours kids stand by the window to meet their mother their eyes are full of hope full of joy because they're going to see their mom. is here. and it doesn't matter what kind of mother she is she may be an alcoholic a murderer or a drug addict but for the child she's mommy. in this child care center mothers are permitted one hour with their children in the morning and another in the evening but natalia had been allowed to spend all of her time with a child the colony has nine rooms where mothers and children can live together
4:33 pm
natalia and her daughter yulia shared one of them but a few weeks after moving him natalia abandoned her daughter was that the walkabout was after the child turned one month old he was transferred to the child care center she didn't come to visit the child regularly left early or came late for her visits in other words it didn't look like she wanted to be with her daughter. but quite recently she came to see me and said the recent i want to live together with my child and of course i told her you have the opportunity to return to your child but you have to prove that you really love her. i wanted to stay here until the end of the term. but it so happened. i don't know how i still can't understand why i haven't stayed with her why i left her.
4:34 pm
it's up to review board to decide whether the mother can share a room with her child or not natalia will be given permission if she decides to abide by the rules and is prepared to be with her daughter soon the review board will also consider another convicts appeal this time by yulia smell nova. and. be seven months. i see. firstly the board considers her behavior some don't abide by the rules other simply don't want to raise their child for example smoking is prevented at the childcare center so some mothers choose to leave their children of the center and live together with all the other convicts to be able to smoke cigarettes. stuff of the colon a cult forced mothers to live without children trying is only likely to make matters
4:35 pm
worse. in my experience there was one case when the muscle was deprived of her parental rights when she was already here at the colony of she didn't even call him by the first name she called him by his last name instead and when she asked the child to do something and he didn't do it she yelled at him in an extremely rude manner and the final straw was when she bit her own child.
4:36 pm
the nine residents rooms to a vacant as no deserving mother should be a felony it. is eight months pregnant the first child will be born in the colony so if she is to be allowed to stay with him she'll have to face the review board. delhomme today will learn how to swaddle a baby. ok let me show you. i want to be with my child i'm not abandoning him under any circumstances i will spend all my free time with him you know i don't understand it how women can abandon their children is not what can happen in a woman's life to make abandon her child. because i think a woman must always be with him you have a child and you won't for nine months if you don't go for an abortion right from
4:37 pm
the start and decide to give birth to him then it means that you need him that you love him and have always loved him. the women who live together with their children apart from taking care of their own child you must also help with the other children who live separately from their mothers but it is very hard work. and we shouldn't forget that these people have been displaying antisocial behavior drugs alcohol having a child is something new and unknown for them it is easier for them to get drunk then take care of a newborn child. right . there.
4:38 pm
just. hello my sunshine. how are you how's school. i hope it's as interesting as it was for you before. i'm very happy that you're swimming it's very good for your health. and sun i hope that everything is fine with you. i look forward to your reply i. love mama. genov i gave birth to her child here she lived with yvonne while taking care of other children as well as her own life was much easier for have them than it is now . it's impossible to express it in words i don't know. i think no mother could put it into words to
4:39 pm
say that is hard is to say nothing. ever now lives far away from his mother with his grandparents because i guess or is serving a second prison sentence for drug offenses. sometimes i'll go home with them and my mother in law or someone else will say that i must've thought about avon. choose that on they also tell me that sometimes he's suddenly become silent when he's doing his homework on them they ask him what's the matter when he doesn't reply or that it's and but then he says well nothing. but just been thinking about mom for one so i think of him and he thinks of me the bond between a mother and child is very strong indeed something to miss him. very very much
4:40 pm
it's bad. i told you i wouldn't be able to hold back my tears. according to the law yvonne was removed from the center when he turned three the age at which children are either sense to live with relatives or to children's homes however each woman has to prove that she deserves to spend those first three years behind bars with their children natalia utena and usually a small nova will have to face the review board this privilege.
4:41 pm
4:42 pm
4:43 pm
they placed her right on my chest immediately after she was born then she began crying and so loudly even the doctors were surprised come on maria come on let's get your arm gets gail let's you know i think that having a baby and then bringing her up is the most important thing in life it is a huge responsibility to me to become clever and more mature you try to be more serious as for all convicted mothers arena will live with her daughter for the first three months after that's though every woman has to prove that she deserves
4:44 pm
to stay with a child those that fail to convince the board will be separated from their babies just adults and i will try not to break any rules i will obey the staff and i won't argue with anyone well i don't know if necessary i will cry and i'll consult to everyone and ask to let me stay with my child she's my first we won't be able to stay apart. i love you my little sweetheart. more attention residential zone conduct morning the hour please proceed to the duty of is more i repaired call my morning the obvious message to the duty officer. though my darling girl. really was being visited by her mother who was hoping to meet the new granddaughter but she hasn't been allowed to bring her newborn baby to
4:45 pm
the meeting. so why are you here i'm ok i was maria is just two weeks old and i can see her today i want to see her so much at least a glimpse of her they said they would let me show her to you but we have to wait until she's one month old. but you take care of her please of course how well. daddy is ok he's working. you're going gray well i had a heart attack i spent three months in hospital i felt very bitter about what had happened but there's nothing to be done. i hope that all will be
4:46 pm
well and it won't happen again. of course they feel very sorry for my granddaughter because she was born here i wouldn't wait until she test three i take her home as soon as she doesn't need to be breastfed it's not the right place for a child. you know i'm pretty selfish when it comes to this question i would leave him here with me so you think it would be better for him to be here somewhere yes with me so with me it is the matter where but with me still for i lay so i can say it confidently that she's a mother to the core eyes her eyes become warmer her facial expression changes she becomes pride or as if the sun were shining when she talks about her son now she's expecting to be let out on parole if everything works out fine well we'll all be
4:47 pm
very happy for her. we had such a case when convict audition a couple was released on parole. three children are at an orphanage now i asked the woman but she kept in touch with how it was doing they told me she had been taken her children home yet why she says she's got a lot of things to do. recently we heard that she landed in jail again with. every case is different no two cases are the same not all rules can apply to everyone some women give birth to their children to make their life easier. for example the woman having a child can be put into a punitive isolation ward with her. well unfortunately
4:48 pm
a child often repeats their mother's ways it's a vicious circle other words sound. my mom was also raised at an orphanage and also ended up here when she was pregnant i was born here in one thousand nine hundred eighty six and i don't know how to explain it is this what people call destiny i don't remember anything here i only remember that i was sent to an orphanage from here. natalia utan i was placed in a children's home several times because her own mother frequently ended up in jail when the girl grew up she followed in her mother's footsteps natalia has now been convicted eighteen times. i was stealing the school i had a hard time finding a job so i stole i still some money what else can i say.
4:49 pm
when i was released from the colony i came home to see nothing but bare walls there before you managed to find a job you should somehow make ends meet so the next day i went out to steal some money. natalia has refused to live with her child because she wanted to make some money for her retired mother that at least is how she explains it. i think it's easier to stay in an ordinary ward she finishes her work goes to bed and that's it nobody will wake her up at night because her baby is crying you might be teething or your stomach is aching or maybe it's just wet and needs a diaper changed so she has a good night's sleep and comes back can do morning to check on her child. what is fine and both other women are taking care of her child as a mother it's
4:50 pm
a fine situation. i think i won't dare to steal any more i don't know what i'm going to do but i try not to think about stealing if i have to live in the church i will if i have to plow the earth the most important thing is that everything is fine with her. that's as usual they swear that it was the last time and they'll never do it again they promise to live a normal life after they are set free but then they come back and i asked them so you're back and they say well it's just my fate. hello how are you all everything's fine so all birds be released soon me. how many days left twenty days twenty days well ok so i'm a global don't come back never. some leave the colony and soon end up back in here i know that many simply get to
4:51 pm
a certain place commit another crime and come back because they have nowhere to go . where they have no job no money they don't know where to go many don't even have a place to live. psychologists have been watching closely in just a few days she'll face the review board in competition with natalia. for co-residents with their children. is she really lost her child and worries about him. when a nanny comes from the children's department she always asks about her little alexander his sleeping sleeping. are you sure he's not crying does he need his diaper changed. i think it would be pretty difficult for anyone to act like
4:52 pm
this other than an actress. tomorrow. will be putting on another sort of performance but the review board will be the audience it's up to them to decide whether or not the two mothers deserve to live with their children. just. convicted under article one thirty nine section four sentence for six years and eleven months has appeared before the board concerning coincidence with her child at the child care center. to have a positive character she works at the child care center she's a loving mother of her child she spends time with him takes him for walks and feeds him we do not have any compromise in material against me she has not been involved
4:53 pm
in any conflicts and she is only other prisoners over the three years she's had only one violation concerning wearing the uniform shows no disrespect to the administration. and i think she'll be a good example to all those she wants to be with a child and perhaps the most important single. convict natalia you tonight sentenced to one year and six months has appeared before the board concerning co-residents with her child at the child care center. convict has displayed negative behavior. sure if used to take care of her child she doesn't visit her child on a regular basis sometimes through fuses to come herself and we have to call her. you have multiple criminal records. why does this keep happening.
4:54 pm
it just happens they have been no incidents of breaching discipline however they have been many complaints about improper conduct towards the administration her behavior is arrogant and rude i haven't had any arguments. well yes there was one instance which i am not denying but it was not my fault. we understand that your mental state is disturbed but our staff is not responsible for that i realize that and i admit i was wrong the board will discuss the matter. the result later. many women here make themselves believe that they love their children in other words when they are here the very atmosphere the contrast between the colony and the child care center the fence between them it impacts them. or seems to be absolutely different even if there is no she will
4:55 pm
show it she won't pretend. transfer to the child care center the review board has accepted your appeal. thank you. so you may transfer to the center to join your child starting today thank you so much. taking into account the opinions of the members of the board so we cannot allow you to live with your child a president you should behave appropriately fulfill all of disciplinary requirements and treat the administration with respect you still have a chance to have your appeal accepted the board will revisit your application at the next review hearing do you have any questions now that is old goodbye ok goodbye. hello my darling how are you schooled in our schools just. now it's cold and wet
4:56 pm
4:57 pm
4:58 pm
