There are over 150,000 incarcerated females in the United States. Structural inequities, including racism, adversely affect the reproductive health outcomes, autonomy, and access to care that people in custody face. This article reviews the status of reproductive health and health care among incarcerated women and describes ways that community OB/GYNs can address health inequities by providing comprehensive, compassionate care to incarcerated people, especially when they come to community settings for care while they are in custody. To address reproductive health disparities and inequities that adversely affect incarcerated individuals, community providers can implement these recommendations and also engage in advocacy.
美国有超过 150,000 名被监禁的女性。结构性不平等，包括种族主义，对被监禁者的生殖健康结果、自主权和获得医疗保健的机会产生不利影响。本文综述了被监禁女性的生殖健康和医疗保健状况，并描述了社区妇产科医生如何通过为被监禁者提供全面、富有同情心的护理来解决健康不平等问题，特别是当他们在被监禁期间到社区环境中寻求护理时。为了解决影响被监禁者的生殖健康差异和不平等问题，社区提供者可以实施这些建议，并参与宣传。
