Every year, about 58,000 pregnant people enter prisons and jails. A study by the Pregnancy in Prison Statistics Project found that nationally, 4 percent of women entering prison and 3 percent of women entering jail are pregnant.
In part two of our series on the maternal mortality crisis, we're examining the health care of incarcerated pregnant people, including the practice of shackling and the devastating outcomes. Are other options available? And if so, how do we implement new plans to end maternal and fetal deaths in prison?
Listen to our conversation with Wanda Bertram from the Prison Policy Initiative.
