r tThe American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Medical Association oppose the practice of shackling inmates due to the health risks it poses to the life of the mother and her child.

The adoption of limitations does not present a threat to safety: states which have restricted the use of restraints on pregnant inmates have no documented instances of women in labor or delivery causing harm to themselves, correctional staff or medical staff.

State-run correctional facilities have already enacted limitations on this practice; local and regional facilities should do the same.

This shows the practicability of not shackling such persons in other correctional facilities.
