Pregnancy Behind Bars - A talk with Dr Laura Abbott

Send us Fan Mail

We talk with Professor Laura Abbott, from the university of Hertfordshire, about what pregnancy and new motherhood can look like inside UK prisons, and why shame, uncertainty, and separation can shape every part of maternity care. We also dig into what real change requires, from properly funded lived experience co-production to closing the “release gap” so no pregnant woman leaves custody into danger.
