No Prison Sleepover for Child with Mother who Murdered

frank h writes "This article says that the Governor of Nebraska is revoking the 'right' of an imprisoned mother to have her six-year-old son spend the night with her in prison. Hooo-Ray for common sense. The judges, on the other hand, favored the sleepover. This Governor needs to hear from men nationwide who applaud his action because he will surely hear from the feminists." This brings up some interesting questions. I think everyone would agree that having a child sleep in a prison with a parent convicted of murder is not a good idea, but what about less serious crimes? Do children not belong in prisons at all or should a parent (often the father, mind you) serving some time for a minor offense be given the right to see his or her child for an extended visit?
