Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Criminology
  • Reproductive Health

Background:

  • Increasing incarceration rates since the 1960s linked to violence and drug use.
  • Elevated morbidity and mortality among incarcerated populations, particularly from infectious diseases like tuberculosis.
  • Disproportionate rise in incarcerated women of childbearing age, leading to escalating numbers of pregnant inmates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on prenatal interventions for incarcerated women.

  • To advocate for comprehensive prenatal programs in correctional facilities.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of prenatal interventions in correctional settings.
  • Case study description of the New York City jail system's prenatal program.
  • Analysis of public health implications of incarceration policies.

Main Results:

  • The literature indicates various prenatal interventions are described and evaluated.
  • The New York City jail system provides experience with implementing such programs.
  • Prenatal care in correctional facilities is feasible and necessary.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive prenatal programs are essential in correctional facilities.
  • These programs should be integrated with community-based health services.
  • Public health principles support prenatal care as a response to incarceration policies.
