The Michigan Prison Doula Initiative (MPDI) provides compassionate birth and parenting support to imprisoned mothers. Their program starts by partnering with a mother and developing a birth plan, supporting the mother while she is in labor at the hospital, and helping mother and child bond for the time they have together before the mother returns to prison. The doulas also offer postpartum support and resources to remain in contact with family and ensure safe placement of babies.
