    The prison guard holding that baby tho is adorable
  • @HilaryW1013
    I've never been in trouble with the law, but I 1000% support this! Babies NEED to bond with their Momma and vice versa.
  • All of the employees in this prison seem so understanding and supportive. It seems they treat these women with respect
  • @peachiepeach888
    I was a prison baby and I can honestly tell you I don’t remember so the sadness some of y’all feel is pointless
  • @namrata5763
    This is going to sound so harsh but having 3 out of 6 kids adopted, having 2 more taken away by family and using drugs while pregnant and/or while caring for a child who is dependent on you isn't just a bad "choice". It makes you a terrible parent.
  • @qtcarmen7d896
    Bobby needs to get her tubes tied. She has 6 kids? 3 were taken away! Stop bringing kids into the world if you can’t take care of them! Poor babies are paying for the bad mistakes their parents make! Smh
  • Omg Bobby needs to STOP 🛑 having kids, why have more kids if you can’t even take care of them 😡 I think she wants to be in that program for her own comfort and not because she wants to really keep her child.
  • @katehook9806
    It’s horrible that Bobby got another chance after all her screw ups but Donna didn’t get a chance to bond with her baby 🥺
  • @noobiaju
    36 years for drug dealing? lol even murderers get less time
  • OMG that scene where the officer held the baby moved me! 😢❤
  • @madreep
    I love the Wee Ones program. These women not only get to bond with their babies but they also participate in things like parenting classes and drug treatment and that is very beneficial. I do feel the same as most in the comments about Bobbi. Not only has she lost 5 kids already but she was trying to say that she didn't need drug treatment. That is a sign that her mentality is not where it needs to be in order for her to really change her life. Even the counselor has doubts about her future. She has taken a place that another woman and child could have had. I think maybe first time offenders should have priority over those who have been in and out of prison with multiple kids that they've already lost custody of. I do wish that fathers were given the same opportunities.
  • @SadieRayy88
    That was so sweet when the CO came in and held and played with the baby.
  • @cce8632
    Bobbie:"it's not that i was a bad mom i made bad choices" Uh no....doing drugs while pregnant\raising kids does make you a bad mom
  • @foodpuff8582
    Here are women having 8 kids while in prison and here I am - can’t find a decent man to get married and have just 1 with 😅
  • i dont think bobby actually deserved to be able to keep her baby in prison, since she already gave 3 up for adoption and doesn't have custody of her other children... idk seems wrong in a way
  • @spencerallegra
    The doctor was judging that chick so hard when she said this is her 8th pregnancy! And rightfully so, take a hint girl you need birth control ASAP!
  • @mirabella2154
    I just feel sorry for the babies being born into this mess.
  • @omyyeb3ng738
    I think Donna deserves to keep the baby more than Bobby. Just saying.
