Another case of women getting therapy while men get prison time. Full Article here. Excerpt:

'A unique program in New York City allows mothers to live with their children in a private apartment building instead of prison while they serve out court mandates.

Five families live in the building, all sent there by the district attorney's office for felony offenses. Some involve drugs, others weapons, and still others violent crime.
...
The program has been lauded as a successful, more supportive and cheaper alternative to prison. But space is running out, and it needs funding in order to grow.'
