Relates to the health, safety and human rights of incarcerated pregnant individuals, incarcerated birthing parents of children and their children
This bill aims to improve the health, safety, and human rights of pregnant and postpartum individuals in correctional facilities and their young children. It mandates comprehensive medical care, including prenatal screenings, labor support, mental health services, and privacy protections, while also ensuring access to nutritious food and safe living conditions. Additionally, the legislation establishes a right for children born in these facilities to remain with their parents until the child is eighteen months old, or until the parent is paroled if that occurs sooner, with specific exceptions only for clear and convincing evidence of imminent risk to the child.
