<p data-webtasks-id="fdfb4d21-f8e3-491a">We knew that finding people to tell these stories would be a challenge.

<p data-webtasks-id="7b8910eb-532c-4b71">So we had to ask ourselves how we would connect with incarcerated people whose communication is limited and monitored. How would we navigate <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3987588/" data-webtasks-id="cabd4ff9-f359-4306">health privacy laws</a>? Why would anyone behind bars risk coming forward about such a personal choice? Who would be willing to tell us about an abortion they wanted but never received?</p>

<p data-webtasks-id="d1e81645-27e9-4685">One answer was to cast a wide net: We talked to formerly incarcerated people, jail nurses, prison doula groups, attorneys, and people who had written to The Marshall Project about their experiences with reproductive care and incarceration.</p>

<p data-webtasks-id="4c404bee-a96c-4258">Although our reporting so far has not surfaced accounts of abortions being denied, those we interviewed talked about the chilling effect of the end of Roe. Today, an estimated 2 in 5 girls and women of reproductive age <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/a-year-after-fall-of-roe-v-wade-25-million-women-live-in-states-with-abortion-bans-or-restrictions" data-webtasks-id="9d2f45c6-3b82-4046">live in a state where they could be prosecuted for having an abortion.</a> The procedure is already fully banned in 14 states and severely restricted in six others.

<p data-webtasks-id="75abb32e-a0da-46fe">Perhaps the biggest lesson we learned from our interviews so far is that abortion is just one part of a larger story about the unevenness, indifference — and even cruelty — of reproductive healthcare in jails and prisons. Over the next four weeks of Life Inside, you’ll hear <a href="https://www.themarshallproject.org/2023/06/30/post-roe-prison-doula-pregnancy-support" data-webtasks-id="6c30bfba-23fb-4a06">from a formerly incarcerated doula in Georgia</a> who uses her personal history of traumatic pregnancies to help others in jails and prisons. A California prisoner who went to the hospital to have growths removed from her uterus and was sterilized without her knowledge. A Texas woman left cramping and bleeding in her jail cell while she miscarried. And a Minnesota mother who wonders if the year she was allowed to spend with her newborn twins at home will make separation harder when she begins to serve her prison sentence in the fall.</p>

<p data-webtasks-id="9f53d9b9-e01e-4afc">These stories foreshadow a post-Roe landscape in correctional settings where reproductive health care is often an afterthought.</p>
