Jailcare

A book on jail as a tragic safety net for pregnant women on the margins of society. Carolyn Sufrin, MD, PhD.

Haven't posted here in a few years. But since Senator Kennedy quoted a post from this account today at a Senate hearing on pregnancy behind bars at which I testified, I thought it would be a good time to share. See the recording of the hearing here: https://t.co/k4URoc2ovj

There are so many reasons to de-carcerate now. Thanks to Jody Rich for stating this so clearly. ⁦@ARRWIP⁩ https://t.co/ifVtAGlBDQ

Having deep appreciation for @RepPressley's attention to the health and wellbeing of incarcerated mothers. We've come a long way, but have so much more work to do. @cbsufrin @LGoshin @mjzielinski_phd @prisondoulas @PrisonBirth @momsbeyondbars @IBJPrisonDoulas

New study by @cbsufrin: "In this sample of US prisons and jails, one‐third required pregnant people with opioid use disorder go through withdrawal, contrary to medical guidelines." https://t.co/HP50bMeVcT

@doczo1 @mclemoremr @mifcnm @midwifeana Yes and this is why graduate school for an anthropology PhD was much, much more challenging (for me at least) than medical school!

Women in jail are the fastest-growing correctional population in the country, increasing 14-fold between 1970 and 2014. Our Overlooked report spotlights the growing issue of incarcerated women in jails—a majority of whom are mothers & women of color. https://t.co/lzNgu7ou0H

Wish I could be on SCOTUS steps today but am proud to be providing compassionate, safe abortion care instead. #MyRightMyDecision

The @nytimes editorial board spells it out: "What changed in so few years to make the Supreme Court want to relitigate its own recent precedent? One thing: the makeup of the court." #MyRightMyDecision

How can we challenge the widely held belief that race/ethnicity has a biological basis and encourage medics/researchers to look at racism instead as a epidemiological variable?

Check out this deep dive, honest, disturbing report on the treatment of incarcerated women in our country, from the US Commission on Civil Rights. Appreciate our non-partisan government institutions that pay attention to those who are overlooked. @USCCRgov

[Catherine E. Lhamon @CatherineLhamon]

For our report on Women in Prison, @USCCRgov heard compelling testimony from panelists including academic and legal experts, advocates, and formerly incarcerated women.

Carolyn Sufrin @cbsufrin: “Women who don’t count don’t get counted... the lack of any comprehensive or updated statistics about pregnancy among women behind bars signals the systematic disregard in the carceral system, and indeed our country, for incarcerated pregnant people.”

Please make sure the law includes education for custody officers and docs/nurses at the birthing hospital. Shackling laws are critical first step but often not followed. https://t.co/Cf6G4aZbCD

Florida - Legislation giving pregnant inmates more protections scheduled for Senate hearing. Pregnant inmates are at high risk of medical complications, including death. https://t.co/lgjN9siGU6

Looking forward tremendously to being part of these conversations in April @MichiganSTS!

@coryellen @LorettaJRoss @robinmarty @DorothyERoberts @dbcthesis2002 @DrIbram Um what an honor to see Jailcare alongside so many books and thinkers who have inspired me and shaped my critical perspectives. Thank you!!

[Jailcare @cbsufrin]

@NakedStrangers @JoshSeim @ucpress Ditto on all fronts!

Deeply appreciate the focus on community engagement and co-creation in implementation science. Whatever the question, the answer is in the community. https://t.co/L9Bmnk9T2e @mclemoremr @IVAPhD @Authorbray @RJWarrior #SMFM20
