News of a a seven-month baby behind bars with a convicted mother shocked Montenegro.

However, in Serbian prisons the situation is somewhat different, so it is not surprising if they include mothers with babies, writes Blic.

Delivery and complete care in the prison is not much different from normal cases, and even in the birth certificate as place of birth it does not state Zabel, but Pozarevac.

In the first months, babies are in a separate section, known as the maternity ward.

- The "Maternity Ward" in Zabel is nearly never empty. At one point there were even seven babies. There, expectant mothers will maintain their pregnancy, and they will be helped by other prisoners that have been chosen by the prison administration. Pregnant prisoners are exempt from work and provided all the benefits, ranging from special customized diets, regular inspection, to delivery in the Pozarevac hospital. The children are also all provided for; diapers, milk, clothing, and strollers - stated the Management and added:

- The only thing missing is literature for mothers, so we hope that citizens will help with their donations.
