"It's a very special feeling, I cherish the moment being with them and just spending time with them," Tameka Johnson said as she kissed her son on the cheek.
Prison officials say the ladies earned the special extended visits by graduating Southern University Agriculture Center's "Second Chance 2 Recovery" program.
The Second Chance 2 Recovery program, which teaches inmates job and parenting skills gave the inmates eight hours to visit with their children in a carnival setting, motivating them to do better when they return to society.
It was fun for children and mothers to play and eat together, giving them a chance to reconnect and make memories they can hold on to forever.
The event was featured by Fox
44 news and is available online under
the heading “Female inmates enjoy special day with their kids.” The
video clip is available at: http://www.fox44.com/news/female-inmates-enjoy-special-day-their-kids
