What happens if you go to prison pregnant or get pregnant while in there (congenial visits). What happens to the baby once you've had it. Prisons can get violent there is a safety issue there isn't there?
Answer
Policies towards pregnant prisoners depends on the prison itself. When the woman goes into labor their will usually be guards or correction officers who escort her to a hospital, where she will remain until she is stable enough to finish her sentence. Again depending on the prison, policies towards the child differ. In Finland, and other socialist countries, prisons put their inmates in housing versus cells, and they allow for the child to live with it's mother. It's designed this way to teach the prisoners responsibility, and how to care for their child. Their are some prisons in Canada that do this as well and allow the child to remain with the mother. If the prison does not allow this, or the mother is unfit to care for the child, the prison will either give custody to the father, or other family, or to social services. Sometimes the child is put in foster care until the mother can get out. It all depends. As far as pregnancy goes, pregnant criminals don't get special treatment for being pregnant, but the prison will take care of the child while it is in the womb, such as allowing the mother to not participate in certain activities that could hurt the child.

Answer
i can only answer what i know to be factual i live in ohio and in the ohio penal system incarrcerated women go through admissions for a security clearance just like anyone else might go through the problem that I see with this is............with this system it leave's oppertunity for the unborn children to get injured when all of the women are rushing to the door's and the pregnant women are amongst them. There should be programs where pregnant mother's if this were there first time of being in trouble that they could go on ankle monitoring or something. Some of theese incarrcerated women are"nt so fortunate as to have a family member or someone that they know to take their baby's and many of theese women are forced to put their baby's up for adoption. Yes there are program's that allow theese women to keep their baby's with them for a period of time but at time's women are turned down for theese program's and are left with no where to turn and are forced to give their child up for adoption. Many of the women that I speak of did"nt even know that they were pregnant until they became incarrcerated. One of the thing's that is done while theese women are going through security clearance is ........A PREGNANCY TEST!!! Once this pregnancy test is done os in many case's when alot of incarrcerated women fond out that they are even pregnant. There has to be a better solution to this problem and ..........there should be a special type pf institution for pregnant women!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think that house arrest would be a better solution. The reason that I think this Is every one wins including the unborn children that get caught up in this MESS!!!!!!! mom stays home so the federal government is'nt haveing to pay for the cost of prenatal care, mother and child are'nt looking for each other for years to come , the cost to the federal government becomes minimized. God forbid if one of theese women are ever seriously hurt and her unborn child is hurt ............it could become very cost ly to our federal government!!!!!!!!!!! there has to be a better solution to this ever GROWING problem!!!! If not house arrest then there need's to at the bare minimum a safe place for pregnent women!!!!!!!!!!
