Haven't posted here in a few years. But since Senator Kennedy quoted a post from this account today at a Senate hearing on pregnancy behind bars at which I testified, I thought it would be a good time to share. See the recording of the hearing here: c-span.org/video/?537460-…

Having deep appreciation for @RepPressley's attention to the health and wellbeing of incarcerated mothers. We've come a long way, but have so much more work to do. @cbsufrin @LGoshin @mjzielinski_phd @prisondoulas @PrisonBirth @momsbeyondbars @IBJPrisonDoulas

We have an incarceration crisis in this country & women make up one of its fastest growing populations - yet one of the most overlooked. Today, I’m introducing the Justice for Incarcerated Moms Act to to support the growing number of incarcerated moms. #Momnibus #SaveMoms

Women in jail are the fastest-growing correctional population in the country, increasing 14-fold between 1970 and 2014. Our Overlooked report spotlights the growing issue of incarcerated women in jails—a majority of whom are mothers & women of color. bit.ly/2qITPYf

The @nytimes editorial board spells it out: "What changed in so few years to make the Supreme Court want to relitigate its own recent precedent? One thing: the makeup of the court." #MyRightMyDecision
Guttmacher Institute@Guttmacher

At the center of June Medical Services v. Russo is a harmful & punitive law requiring providers to "jump through the medically unnecessary—and, for some, impossible—hoop of securing admitting privileges at a hospital near their clinic." gu.tt/3anZrZl #MyRightMyDecision

How can we challenge the widely held belief that race/ethnicity has a biological basis and encourage medics/researchers to look at racism instead as a epidemiological variable? Tweeting @DorothyERoberts talk on the problem with race-based medicine again ted.com/talks/dorothy_…

Check out this deep dive, honest, disturbing report on the treatment of incarcerated women in our country, from the US Commission on Civil Rights. Appreciate our non-partisan government institutions that pay attention to those who are overlooked. @USCCRgov
Catherine E. Lhamon@CatherineLhamon

For our report on Women in Prison, @USCCRgov heard compelling testimony from panelists including academic and legal experts, advocates, and formerly incarcerated women. #USCCRReports #CivilRights

Carolyn Sufrin @cbsufrin: “Women who don’t count don’t get counted... the lack of any comprehensive or updated statistics about pregnancy among women behind bars signals the systematic disregard in the carceral system, and indeed our country, for incarcerated pregnant people.”
