restrict the use of restraints on pregnant inmates
 
  • To whom it may concern,

    I support the Board of Corrections’ proposed regulations, which reflect best practice recommendations from several medical groups, federal standards, and the experience of other states that have implemented similar standards. 

    Restrict the use of restraints on pregnant inmates!! 

    Sincerly yours,

    Sue Colyer
