Calls for independent investigation into use of restraints on pregnant women in prison custody
We are appalled by the report on @channel4news.bsky.social tonight of a woman being restrained during labour while held in prison custody.
Prison will never be a safe or appropriate place for pregnant women and mothers of babies.

I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about training that would encourage me out of my comfort zone but that’s what we do every day with participants on the StandOut course so no excuses. With @philippabudgen.bsky.social we were in safe expert hands. Thank you & to @lbfew.bsky.social for making it possible.
