Education and Resocialisation of Prison Mothers through Motherhood

Abstract

From the first moments of life, children are subject to a learning process. The first role model for them is the mother from whom they learn the basics. They lean words, modes of behaviour and also how to function in society. If this is not learned in the early years of development, the socialisation process will certainly be disturbed. An analysis of the biography of female prisoners shows that their socialisation in most cases was disturbed and so they duplicated abnormal patterns in adulthood. Often, some mothers neglected their maternity duties before going to prison, and those who gave birth to children in isolation were not sufficiently (or not at all) prepared to perform this role. Education as an integral part of social rehabilitation plays a key role here. Convicted mothers serving a prison sentence together with children have the opportunity to learn to correct attitudes and behaviour towards their children by participating in numerous forms of assistance and workshop. They should undergo the education process along with their children who will need to find their place in society under conditions of freedom. Education and resocialisation through the love of a mother for her child is an effective method for inclusion.
