Eliminate Unecessary Shackling of Pregnant Inmates
 

Please consider regulations to eliminate shackling of pregnant inmates, unless absolutely necessary. As a mother of two children, I know that being pregnant and undergoing labor and delivery can be physically and emotionally trying enough without additional physical constraints.

Thank you for your time.

Mrs. Migliore
