The Minnesota Prison Doula Project (MnPDP) provides pregnancy and parenting support for incarcerated people. We provide birth support from trained doulas, as well as group-based and individual education and support. The goal is to nurture healthy parent-child relationships and increase parenting confidence and skills.

​

We work with people inside Minnesota’s only women’s state prison and those held in county correctional facilities. We also support our clients upon release with resources to help facilitate a successful transition into our community.

​

At the end of 2019 we added support and education services to a male facility, expanding our reach to incarcerated parents.
