Written by ARRWIP director Carolyn Sufrin, Jailcare explores the experiences of pregnant people cycling in and out of jails as they carry their pregnancies in a space of punishment. In this time when the public safety net is frayed, incarceration has become a central and racialized strategy for managing the poor. Using her ethnographic fieldwork and clinical work as an ob-gyn in a women’s jail, Sufrin explores how jail has, paradoxically, become a place where women can find care.
