Last year, 229 pregnant women were held in prison. Community based alternatives are essential to protect mothers & babies. Our paper published today @bmj.com highlights the need to stop incarcerating pregnant women @drtanyacapper.bsky.social @birthcompanions.bsky.social @womeninprison.bsky.social

"Systemic problems need tackling urgently to protect the health of pregnant women, new mothers, & babies while in criminal justice settings" Congratulations @midwifeteacher.bsky.social @drtanyacapper.bsky.social & colleagues on a great @bmj.com paper 👏
