Motherhood of convicted women as an overarching value in their social rehabilitation process

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the article is to attempt to theoretically present the value of motherhood in the process of social rehabilitation of women in prison isolation, through cognition, understanding and pointing to conclusions. This issue is particularly relevant for young mothers who begin the story of their motherhood with their child(ren) while in prison. Such a mother should feel that the value of motherhood depends only on herself, and in this context it becomes essential for her to receive an appropriate offer of rehabilitation from the penitentiary system, without overlooking the huge role of herself in all this. Strengthening inmate mothers’ perceptions of motherhood as a value should provide the basis for their social rehabilitation, moreover, it should become a stimulus to intensify this process, and should ultimately be a contribution to changing their lives.The methodology used to write this publication was the conduct of a critical analysis of literature, using the author’s own academic work (elements of research for two future monographs on motherhood) and other documents, including available Internet resources, as well as their own professional experience of many years of working with persons deprived of liberty.
