Abstract
In 1976, the Supreme Court mandated that incarcerated individuals have a constitutional right to receive medical care; however, there are no mandatory standards so access to and quality of reproductive health care for incarcerated pregnant women varies widely across facilities. Without federal or state standards, there is variability in the type of prenatal care pregnant women receive, their birthing experience, how long they are able to stay with their infant after birth, and whether they are permitted to breastfeed or express milk. In this column, I review policies related to reproductive health care in carceral settings, the gaps in data collection and research, programs to support the needs of incarcerated pregnant women, and recommendations from professional organizations on reproductive health care for incarcerated women in the prenatal and postpartum periods.
