South Africa's Youngest Inmates

They're the youngest inmates in South Africa's prison system.  But it wasn't any crime of theirs that landed them behind bars.  Instead, it was the misdeeds of their mothers.  A controversial policy allows pregnant inmates in Johannesburg to keep their children with them as they serve out several years of their sentences.  Robyn Curnow covered the story for Inside Africa and filed this BackStory.
