National Prisoner Statistics Program - Maternal Health Survey

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) requests clearance from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to field a one-time survey of state departments of corrections (DOCs) and the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) on maternal health and pregnancy outcomes in the prison setting. With this data collection, BJS is addressing a substantial gap in criminal justice statistics. There has been little research on maternal health in correctional settings, and there is a need for better data on women who are pregnant, outcomes of their pregnancies, and postpartum recovery while incarcerated.
