Mississippi law will ban shackling inmates during childbirth

Mississippi law will ban shackling inmates during childbirth By Emily Wagster Pettus/The Associated Press • 5 hours ago JACKSON Mississippi will join a growing number of states and the federal government in banning the use of restraints on women giving birth in a jail or prison. Republican Gov. Tate Reeves on Wednesday signed House Bill 196, the “Dignity for Incarcerated Women Act.” It will become law July 1. It says leg restraints and handcuffs cannot be used on an inmate who is pregnant or in labor unless a jail or prison employee believes she may harm herself, the fetus or any other person, or unless she is believed to be a flight risk.
