Safekeeping involves transferring individuals from jails to prisons without the presence of a conviction. In North Carolina, safekeeping is used for pregnant people with the aim of providing better prenatal care. We interviewed 14 stakeholders in the safekeeping process including sheriffs, clinicians, advocates, and lawyers. Three key themes emerged: jails' inability to provide care for pregnant individuals; safekeeping as an additional punishment to incarceration; and differing attitudes on the necessity of safekeeping. Participants perceived that while there may be some benefits of safekeeping such as enhanced prenatal care, safekeeping can also lead to worsened conditions for pregnant people experiencing incarceration.
保护性监护涉及在未定罪的情况下将个人从监狱转移到看守所。在北卡罗来纳州,保护性监护被用于孕妇,目的是提供更好的产前护理。我们采访了14位参与保护性监护过程的利益相关者,包括治安官、临床医生、倡导者和律师。出现了三个关键主题:监狱无法为孕妇提供护理;保护性监护作为监禁的额外惩罚;以及对保护性监护必要性的不同态度。参与者认为,虽然保护性监护可能有一些好处,如加强产前护理,但它也可能导致被监禁孕妇的情况恶化。
