ARRWIP is proud to support this legislation that would promote dignity for pregnant folks in the DC jail system. These D.C. women gave birth while detained, then fought for legislation wapo.st/3NC9JLm

Our research demonstrates inconsistent access to medications for opioid use disorder in pregnancy in US jails. Our newest publication shares the experiences of pregnant & postpartum people who receive that care, or lack thereof. Spoiler, it's not good! doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmqr.2024…

82% of women on probation and 85% of women on parole live in states that (1) either completely ban abortion or restrict it based on gestational age and (2) list travel restrictions as a standard condition of supervision. @PrisonPolicy

🚨NEW: In the 2 years since Americans were stripped of their right to abortion, the number of patients who cross state lines for abortion care has nearly doubled.
This is difficult for anyone, but it’s especially challenging—often impossible—for people on probation or parole🧵

Thank you for having us and discussing this important issue! @cbsufrin
The gold standard of care for opioid use disorder is medication like methadone, but it’s especially hard for incarcerated pregnant people to access. OBGYN Carolyn Sufrin and Bloomberg Fellow Camille Kramer talk about just how difficult access is.

190,600 women in the U.S. are behind bars, more than any other country. Where are they locked up and why? See new data: prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie… via @prisonpolicy

Jails are already lacking adequate care for pregnant people, but what are the implications for people with high-risk pregnancies or pregnancy complications? 19thnews.org/2024/02/pregnan… @cbsufrin

Over 60% of incarcerated pregnant people are in custody for non-violent drug offenses. Yet, only 7 states had statutes related to SUD treatment for this population. Healthcare to address their unique needs is critical. See this new policy brief for details mch.umn.edu/sud/

According to @PrisonPolicy, the capriciousness of reproductive care for pregnant, birthing and postpartum pregnant people in custody comes to us via a patchwork of decentralized and overlapping criminal legal systems throughout the U.S. bit.ly/3ToNZ9O @ARRWIP @kccompton
