Although women are the fastest growing population in Canadian prisons, no one has studied the effect of their incarceration on access to abortion services. Studies outside of Canada indicate rates of abortion are higher among people experiencing incarceration than in the general population, and that abortion access is often problematic. Although international standards for abortion care among incarcerated populations exist, there conversely appear to be no Canadian guidelines or procedures to facilitate unintended pregnancy prevention or management. Barriers to abortion care inequitably restrict people with unintended pregnancy from attaining education and employment opportunities, cause entrenchment in violent relationships, and prevent people from choosing to parent when they are ready and able. Understanding and facilitating equitable access to abortion care for incarcerated people is critical to address structural, gender-, and race-based reproductive health inequities, and to promote reproductive justice. There is an urgent need for research in this area to direct best practices in clinical care and support policies capable to ensure equal access to abortion care for incarcerated people.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1758481","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,20]],"date-time":"2022-12-20T01:15:22Z","timestamp":1671498922000},"page":"264-267","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Intersection of Abortion and Criminalization: Abortion Access for People in Prisons"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Martha J.","family":"Paynter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Nursing, University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wendy V.","family":"Norman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family Practice, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada."},{"name":"Faculty of Public Health & Policy, London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, London, United Kingdom"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"05","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"799","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2019.305006","article-title":"Pregnancy Outcomes in US Prisons, 2016-2017","volume":"109","author":"C Sufrin","year":"2019","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"330","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000004497","article-title":"Abortion access for incarcerated people: incidence of abortion and policies at U.S. prisons and jails","volume":"138","author":"C Sufrin","year":"2021","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1177","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000003834","article-title":"Pregnancy prevalence and outcomes in U.S. jails","volume":"135","author":"C Sufrin","year":"2020","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.ss7009a1","article-title":"Abortion Surveillance -
