New Insights on Pregnancy in Prisons – A Critical Step Toward Reform, But More Questions Remain
SAN | 9 May 2025
The Bureau of Justice Statistics has recently released new data shedding light on pregnancy prevalence, outcomes, and the availability of programs for pregnant incarcerated individuals. This breakthrough data highlights a concerning reality—many pregnant individuals in U.S. prisons continue to face inadequate healthcare, poor living conditions, and limited support. While this data is a crucial step toward reform, it raises urgent questions about how we can further improve systems to ensure the dignity and rights of incarcerated pregnant individuals are upheld. This is a pivotal moment in the ongoing fight for a more just and humane criminal justice system.
