I live and work in the community where this program is established. The Residential Parenting Program in the WA State Corrections Center has a very high breastfeeding initiation rate for these mothers, they are encouraged and supported in their efforts to breastfeed. The facility also has 2 Lactinas on site in the event the mother would benefit from the use of an electric pump and the mothers are provided breastfeeding support and resources during their hospital stay. The program has a relationship with a local hospital outpatient lactation clinic and also receives support and referrals to resources from our local Breastfeeding Alliance and state health department.

You can find more details about the program here:
