North Dakota considers bill to allow children to live with incarcerated mothers in prison.

North Dakota is considering Senate Bill 2115, which would allow children to live temporarily with their mothers in the Heart River Correctional Center. The bill aims to improve family outcomes by keeping mothers and children together, particularly for those who enter prison while pregnant. It would prevent the DOCR and its staff from being held liable for any injuries to the children unless caused by negligence. The legislation does not specify the duration or costs of the program.
