Next Monday at 9pm sees the first of two moving, shocking and insightful films which follow the dramatic and emotional stories of a group of pregnant inmates at Indiana Women's Prison in the USA.

Serial offender Heather is also in the same situation, so she prepares for the agonising task of giving up her baby.
