"Maureen Mulally’s grandson was born when she was in prison. Her grandchild calls the prison her home because that’s the only place he’s ever seen her live.

Mulally isn’t known as the prison grandmother, though, she’s known as the fun grandmother “because we do the fun things.”

Mulally is in a program called Play Free. That’s where women at the prison are allowed to visit the Children’s Discovery Center with a child or grandchild."
