george Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 130 pregnant women in Thai prisons BANGKOK: -- Up to 130 pregnant women are now in Thai jails, director of the Central Women's Correctional Institute Angkhaneung Lebnak said yesterday. Some 39 of them were detained at the institute in Bangkok on drug-related charges awaiting trial. "Two of them are heavily pregnant and are now separated from other prisoners," Angkhaneung said. The women were being held on court orders, she added. Angkhaneung said correctional facilities had doctors to provide pre-natal care for the pregnant detainees. "Then, these detainees will be sent to a hospital outside the prisons to give birth to their babies," she said. The Corrections Department would also contact their relatives to get them to take care of the babies. "If no relatives show up, we will take care of these children until they reach the age of six years old. After that, we will transfer them to the care of the Public Welfare Department," she said. Angkhaneung said some female detainees had got pregnant while in jail. She spoke after the Cabinet approved a proposal on Tuesday for legal amendments that would delay punishment for pregnant convicts by a few years. The move aims to allow pregnant convicts to give birth and take care of their children while they're babies, before they are sent to jail. The proposal was put forward by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC). --The Nation 2006-12-28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aujuba Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 As far as I'm concerned those incarcerated should be forced to get birth control implants. The silly idea of having 'martial visits' is just bull. If a husband is going to visit his wife he should be paying the state a monthly charge for keeping her in prison. He also should be charged for the extra health costs of the expecting mother. The whole thing is silly. Letting women get pregnant in jail is a crime against the unborn. Force them to take birth control! The world really is insane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
