Abstract:
An ethnographic study of the social and psychological experiences of antepartum and postpartum prisoners was undertaken using semistructured interviews. These data, coupled with chart review data for complications experienced by the mothers and newborns, produced the following outcomes: All subjects perceived the experience as a negative one, 20 of the 26 subjects experienced a total of 72 complications, and four of the 26 newborns experienced complications requiring hospitalization in newborn intensive care units.
