Prison Nursery programs are one of the BEST things you can do for incarcerated parents and their newborns. The parents and children have better physical and mental health outcomes, it significantly reduces parent recidivism when they are released, and it also significantly reduces the children's chances of incarceration when they are older.

When I felt better, I started drinking a bunch of water, but was still having stomach cramps. Except they were a little over four and half minutes apart. My sister was better and rushed me to the hospital. My amniotic sac had ruptured somewhere, but it was a slow leak, so I didn't notice. I wasn't dilating at all, and my son's heartbeat was low, so they had to get him out. I loved him as soon as I saw the first ultrasound. He was absolutely wanted. I was due the next week anyway, and was going to be induced if I wasn't dilating. I was prepared for that, but not for the clusterfvck I got 😂

[@bri5155]

Legally they have to take the cuffs off if the doctor says it’s required for treatment. But most CO’s are pathetic humans that feel like they have no power over their own lives so they abuse the tiny amount of power they do have. Inmates deserve equal treatment and dignity just like the rest of us. Especcially in a situation like this.

[@jacquiethebibliophil]

This is a show. I think you need to keep that in mind. I was a nurse in a prison and my ex is a prison guard. There is a lot more to things than meet the eye. I also saw a nurse stabbed with a syringe that had fresh blood in and on it. She had laid it down for a moment when a vindictive AIDs patient grabbed it and stabbed her with it. She too had insisted the cuffs come off while she drew blood. Didn't have to, she just thought the cuffs should come off. She was started on AZT and thankfully didn't convert, but she was in a hell of waiting and testing for a year. IF you want to look at just this piece of a program, felony can mean the amount taken but it can also mean a weapon was on the person, but not used, perhaps because they didn't have a chance to use it. Then it becomes aggravated. And that woman is so stupid she was either committing a crime while pregnant, which would repeat the cycle she so feared, or she became pregnant while awaiting trial, in effect the same thing. After being told her choice could kill her and the baby she still insisted on her way. Mother of the year material.

“Refuses to give birth”, SURE Jan. As a mom of 2, whose second baby was almost born in the car…you physically cannot refuse to give birth 😂

[@ShadowRaccoon54]

Even as a mom of 2, you sound very ignorant of what all can go wrong with a pregnancy. Every pregnancy is different. It's obvious that the baby was not due yet because she was still only 32 weeks pregnant. They had to induce labor to birth the baby prematurely so they wouldn't die from the mom's HELLP and liver failure.

[@dietotaku]

okay, now go watch the video. she wasn't in labor, she had HELLP syndrome. they needed her consent to deliver her baby in order to save her life (also damn that is a BIG baby for only 32 weeks!) and she was refusing consent. so yes, karen, she WAS refusing to give birth.

[@blackbookhell]

That is one of the most ignorant things I’ve ever heard. Then again you must wake up in the morning to look at your life so I guess complete ignorance is blissful for you.

[@Kendergurl]

I had HELLP at 27w. The drs pushed the delivery back most of the day because the expected survival rate was 0%. There is a difference in “going into labor” and “we have to remove your child”. FYI he survived, but is the only one like him in my state.

[@wickedgame241]

She wasn’t in labor, genius. She was refusing to give consent to deliver the baby via medication to bring on labor. She wanted to hang on until she was released, which would have put her at about 36weeks into pregnancy. In a normal pregnancy, she would be out before delivering. It was a medical complication that required a forced delivery, and she refused consent. This meant a judge would have to get involved. Please pay attention before commenting.

My sister just have birth at 34 weeks, to twin girls. One 5.7lbs, the other 4.2lbs. Ain't NO way, this baby come out full term, screaming, at 32 weeks. She'd have needed at least several hours of steroids to promote as much lung development as possible, and baby would probably spend 6 weeks in nicu anyway.

[@komikbookgeek]

We didn't see the whole episode. So she might have gotten steroids, but regardless it's very unrealistic to expect their to ever be an actual newborn baby shown in film or television productions. it's actually not legal to use a very small infant in film or television, there are laws like the Screen Actors Guild that prevent. Newborns or very small babies from being used. And even older babies that are about 6 months old can only work for somewhere around 5 minutes or 10 minutes. I don't remember off hand in order to make sure they are not overly stressed that they are feeding is not an erupted that they are changed appropriately that the bonding time with their parent distilled being given and that because of their lack of immune system, they are not exposed to many pathogens with babies. It's kind of one of those things you just have to have a strong suspension of disbelief. When you are talking newborns on film unless you want them to all use really whacked out looking puppets

They give you an epidural or spinal for a caesarean section unless you opt for a general anesthetic, which they do at the last moment possible since the anesthesia can pass through the placenta and cord giving the newborn low APGAR scores. Either way, you’re numb before they start cutting, and they do a test cut to make sure you aren’t able to feel it. At most you feel a little pressure and tugging as they pull the baby out.

[@waleedkhalid7486]

I heavily disagree with this. Incarcerated mothers have a high chance of not being able to provide for their children once out of jail. Sure, it might sound monstrous to rip a mother away from her child, but that child has a chance at a normal life through adoption and foster care. The child has a chance to grow up far wealthier and with better academic outcomes with another family. Research has shown that prior to 1.5 yrs a baby can be taken care of by anyone and it’ll be ok. To protect that child from ending up in Rikers themselves in the future, I would put that money towards funding an adoption program that may incentive middle class families to adopt ‘problematic’ kids. Even a few years of decent living can change a child’s future and prevent future crime.

[@anneliselim602]

You're basically saying poor people should be banned from having kids. Chill, if the child is an American citizen, they're already luckier than a lot of people. What about people in poor countries? Should genocide be implemented to prevent terrorism and human trafficking? Can't stand saviours like you, having children is nature, no law in this world can stop people from having children. People continue to have children during war, famine, pandemic etc. Life goes on. 'A few years of decent living can change a kid's life'. What happens after that? A few years means no college?? Then how's it going to change their lives? If the justice system is problematic, what makes u think the foster system is good? What if the child was never adopted? A $100 donation is not enough for anybody, how many children have u adopted yourself?

Yeah give all the 'problematic ' kids to the rich people, that'll help. Or, maybe pay proper benefits to people and they might not end up in prison???

People like you make me hate the human race

the system isn't broken, it's working exactly the way it's intended - cute idea but it's just reinforcing the carceral system, if thousands of people could be released because of the pandemic why can't we do the same for new parents and their children of all people...
