 A 20 year old girl, Pushpa Basnet , gathered the courage to become a loving and caring mother to the innocent children living in jail with their parents who are serving time for their crimes. 6 years back, Pushpa Basnet, a Bachelor of Social Welfare student, visited the Women’s Cell in Kalimati Police Station, Kathmandu, as part of the her field study. where she met a year old child living with his inmate mother, who had recently been transferred there from another town near Kathmandu. She knew the children should not be punished for their parent’s crime, but later found out that by law, if the children have no family or place to live outside the prison, they were required to live with their mothers in the prison.
