The program is celebrating its fifth anniversary.  Forty-four mothers and 39 babies have successfully gone through the program, which has an astounding zero percent recidivism rate.  Warden Shelith [[ Sha-leeth ]] Hansbro says that's because they're helping women focus on their inner person so they can be a better woman, mother and employee on the outside.
