Notice of Intended Regulatory Action (NOIRA) regarding Prison Shackling Prevention
 

I am writing to urge that shakling of pregnant female inmates be forbidden.  For the sake of  the baby and the mother who must care for the baby (at least eventually) I urge that regulations be enacted that require jail and prison personnel to use special care in the handling of pregnant female inmates.

Thank you.
