Inconsistency in reporting requirements has created a scarcity of data for this population, making standardization of care difficult. Although incarceration may result in improved access to care that women may not have had in their community, issues of shackling, inadequate prenatal diet, lack of access to comprehensive mental health management, and poor availability of opioid use disorder (OUD) management such as Medication Assisted Therapy (MAT) amd Opioid Treatment Programs (OTP), history of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are just a few areas that must be focused on in prenatal care. After birth, mother-baby units (MBU) to enhance maternal-fetal bonding also should be a prison standard.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec id=\"j_jpm-2021-0145_abs_004\">\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In addition to implementing templates of care specifically directed to this subgroup of women, standardized state and federal legislation are recommended to ensure that uniform standards of prenatal care are enforced and also to encourage the reporting of data regarding pregnancy and neonatal outcomes in correctional facilities.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1515\/jpm-2021-0145","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,24]],"date-time":"2021-06-24T22:09:25Z","timestamp":1624572565000},"page":"830-836","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Pregnancy in incarcerated women: need for national legislation to standardize care"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Smriti","family":"Nair","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rutgers , New Brunswick , NJ , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James E.","family":"McGreevy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"NJ Commission on Women\u2019s Reentry , Trenton , NJ , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juana","family":"Hutchinson-Colas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Women\u2019s Health Institute , Rutgers , New Brunswick , NJ , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heather","family":"Turock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychology , Harvard University Extension School , Cambridge , MA , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frank","family":"Chervenak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obstetrics and Gynecology , Lenox Hill Hospital , New York , NY , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gloria","family":"Bachmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Univ Med , New York , NY , USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023040100292392581_j_jpm-2021-0145_ref_001","unstructured":"Walmsley, R.
