Why would you put a baby behind bars? | Soledad O'Brien | TEDxWashingtonCorrectionsCenterforWomen 2015

One in 10 women are entering prison while pregnant. Scores of others have children left behind. What happens when a child is serving a sentence for a crime they didn’t commit? Soledad explores solutions to America’s broken prison families, including a program at Washington Corrections Center for Women that keeps mothers and babies together while they both grow — in their separate ways. Could this be the answer to the problem of broken families? Soledad O’Brien is an award-winning journalist who founded the Starfish Media Group in 2013.
