Action | Amend Minimum Standards for Jails and Lockups to add requirements on restraint of pregnant offenders |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 9/27/2013 |
I commend you for thinking of the health & safety of pregnant inmates, and their babies. Having a woman in restraints during labor & delivery can endanger the mother and/or the baby. Please change this policy, so that the mothers and babies will have every oppotunity for a safe delivery. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Cheryl Hair
