Thank you for all this info. I wasn’t aware of this issue but now that I know about it, I can’t stop thinking about it. And that is because of this site. You have inspired me to learn more. 🙏🏼

What a challenging topic. Thank you for creating this extremely informative website. It made it easy for me to learn about the issues around shackling of pregnant women who are incarcerated and opportunities to help.

Anne Wanzenberg

I didn’t even know this was an issue. Thank you for shedding light on such an important topic!

Selene Poujade

Super informative website! I learned so much about this issue and hope we can take steps to stop it

I'm so glad I got learn about this issue! This website is super informative and it really convinced me to donate to ARRWIP, as my donation can truly make a difference in working to address this injustice.

What an amazingly important topic that I’m guessing gets easily overlooked. In today’s climate of political entities attempting to subvert women’s rights in high profile areas, such as abortion, I can certainly see how the type of incarceration practice goes unnoticed! I’m going to pass the website link on to all of my close colleagues at All Star Children’s Center and Centerstone Behavioral hospital. I further want to share it with the psychology doctoral interns I supervise…many of whom are incredibly passionate about women’s rights! Thanks you SO much for sharing this clearly overlooked social justice area! Please let me know if I can help in any further way! So proud and impressed that you’re taking this on, Delilah! You should be so proud of your contribution to improving women’s rights!!!!
