Inmate's rights allegedly violated in jailhouse birth
Disturbing, but not shocking. All the more reason to abolish prisons.
I figured this post was appropriate considering the post inviting you all to the info session for the Prisoner Correspondence Project (below).
And while I'm introducing you to things, take a look at The Birth Attendants: Prison Doula Project, based out of Washington State. I went to see a presentation of theirs a few years ago. They assist pregnant/labouring people and new moms in jail, despite a lot of frigging barriers. The've got a few good resources on their, and a lot of interesting stories to tell.
No Freedom Without Reproductive Freedom.
