THEY'RE the forgotten victims of crime - the little ones lying in bed wondering why mummy is in ''hospital'' and can't read them a bedtime story. NSW Correctional Services Minister Phil Costa has given his backing to take the Story Time Program statewide.
Now a pioneering program in one Sydney jail will bring the voices of female inmates into the bedrooms of their children, many of whom are placed in care during the length of their mother's stay behind bars.
Prisoners at the Emu Plains Correctional Centre are being allowed to record stories on CDs and have them delivered to their children as a way to maintain the bond between mother and child.
