Mother's day in Oklahoma City

Program Helps Moms In Prison Send Messages For Mother's Day

The program, called “Messages From Mom,” said it's working to rebuild the bond in the broken families.

Oklahoma leads the nation in the incarceration of woman.

This week, the messages project has trained volunteers and gone to state prisons and filmed incarcerated mothers reading books, poems or messages to their children.

The messages included many “It’s mommy. I love you very much.” And “Mommy misses you.
