Thousands of pregnant individuals pass through our nation’s jails each year. They have unique medical, psychosocial, and custody needs that jails must equipped to address, whether jails see one or one hundred such individuals. Doing so can help ensure smooth operations in your jail when you house pregnant individuals, be in compliance with state laws and national standards, and can contribute to healthy outcomes for moms and babies. This interactive seminar will use a case-based approach to discuss best practices for jails to manage pregnant individuals in custody on a range of topics, including opioid use disorder in pregnancy, labor signs and other urgent maternal warning signs, when to transport pregnant patients offsite, restraints, supporting breastfeeding and other postpartum issues in custody.

PRESENTERS: Carolyn Sufrin, National Programs Advisor, National Institute of Corrections
