Mothers & Infants Together (MINT)

Certain female pregnant offenders may qualify for a certain program which allows them to be with their newborn child up to 12 months in a non-prison setting.

The BOP provides female federal prison inmates with medical and social services related to pregnancy. All female inmates are medically screened for pregnancy upon admission to federal prison and are instructed to inform medical staff as soon as they suspect they are pregnant. If you are a federal defendant and you are pregnant, call us immediately, before your sentencing. It is imperative!

You may be eligible for the MINT PROGRAM. This is the Mothers and Infants Nurturing Together (MINT) program. This is an alternative, residential program for minimum security women who are pregnant at the time of sentencing. You may be permitted to be with your newborn infant for up to 12 months in a non prison, halfway house environment.

 

Mothers & Infants Together (MINT)

We work to maximize the time mothers bond with their babies, up to the maximum of twelve (12) months.

MINT promotes bonding and parenting skills for low-risk female inmates

Pregnant in Prison? Don’t Risk Losing Your Baby’s Bonding Time!

The Mothers and Infants Nurturing Together (MINT) program offers low-risk female inmates vital parenting skills and bonding time—but without action, you could miss out completely. Eligibility depends on meeting strict criteria, and at Jail Time Consulting, we work diligently to give you the best chance possible. Our team proactively coordinates with the defendant, her family, her attorney, one of five MINT Birthing Centers, and the BOP MINT Program Coordinator, presenting your case persuasively to boost your odds of acceptance. Once in the program, you’ll receive prenatal care at a partnering hospital, give birth, and bond with your baby for 3 to 12 months at the center, based on its policy. We push hard for the full 12-month stay.
After bonding—from 3 to 12 months—you’ll return to federal prison to complete your sentence. In some locations, qualified inmates may extend bonding up to 12 months. Timing is everything—contact us the moment you learn you’re pregnant, ideally before sentencing, to avoid separation from your newborn.
Don’t let prison rob you of your baby’s first moments—call Jail Time Consulting today for your best shot at MINT!

While in the MINT program the inmate may participate in pre-natal programs which include childbirth, parenting, and coping skills classes.

The program was designed to help incoming pregnant female offenders. The focus of this program is to encourage positive interaction and bonding between the mother and child in a highly structured environment.

There are only five (5) Birthing Centers (MINT Facilities) in the United States. The inmate may stay from three (3) months to twelve (12) months depending upon the facility. We always try placing the inmate in the facilities that have a 12-month placement.

Our goal is to get the mother in the facility which best suits for the care of the infant and mother.

That facility is the 12-month facility. We provide all the information necessary to the defendant/inmate and her attorney, and we make contact with the birthing center, the BOP MINT Coordinator, check bed space, contact the sentencing judge, and/or DSCC, and organize a complete package for MINT program acceptance and designation. It is a complete turn-key process.

Everything is in the package the client needs. The JTC MINT package is a total package that prepares clients for the MINT program and secures admission to the Mothers and Infants Nurturing Together (MINT) Program.
