Mothers of Bedford follows five women incarcerated at New York’s only maximum security prison, Bedford Hills Correctional Facility. While trying to maintain strong relationships with their children, nurture them & play central roles in their lives, these women are also facing the isolation of life behind bars. The women are supported by an innovative children’s center that creates a space for positive change in the least likely of settings: prison.

Mothers of Bedford is a deeply moving story about these women, their journey and what it means to be a mother.
