Mothering can be difficult at the best of times but

Mothers of Bedford follows five women incarcerated at
New York’s only maximum security prison, Bedford Hills
Correctional Facility. While trying to maintain strong
relationships with their children, nurture them & play central

of life behind bars. The women are supported by an innovative
children’s center that creates a space for positive change in
the least likely of settings: prison. Mothers of Bedford is a
deeply moving story about these women, their journey and
what it means to be a mother.
