Do you think family cells in prisons are a good idea?

Victor Manuel Lozano spends his days like most 2-year-olds. He goes to nursery school, draws, rides a tricycle. The difference is, he does it in prison, living with mom, a convicted murderer, and dad, a drug trafficker. Aranjuez Prison, Spanish officials say, is the only the one in the world with cells for families. The spacious units, dubbed 'five-star cells,' come with cribs, Disney characters on the walls and access to a prison playground. The idea is for children to bond with their jailed parents while young enough not to fully grasp the reality of prison, and to teach parenting skills to inmates seeking rehabilitation. Some parents have two toddlers in the prison, and the total currently stands at 32. Neither the prison psychologist nor the parents themselves think it is an ideal situation. But they say it beats the pain of separation...
