Produktbeschreibung
This book first analyzes the distal and proximate cause of the dramatic increase of the female prison population in the United States. Observing this epidemic through the reproductive justice framework reveals the detrimental, long-lasting effect incarceration has on an individual's reproductive rights, reproductive autonomy, and reproductive health. Despite the higher burden of reproductive health issues among incarcerated women, they are still underserved in receipt of comprehensive and consistent healthcare services. Incarceration serves as a unique opportunity to provide the medically underserved with access to screening and treatment. With this in mind, the Project CARE Video Series was developed to address the ways in which incarceration can endanger women's health and right to motherhood, while also improving the delivery of reproductive healthcare in correctional settings. By providing women with personally tailored information about contraceptives, this intervention hopes to promote the need for reproductive justice in correctional healthcare settings.
