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! https://t.co/eyRxuAP1BS
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

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 https://t.co/4l68HPGNbz
