A study was conducted in a prison in England to determine the social and demographic context, prevalence of mental health disorders, and psychiatric treatment need of pregnant women in prison/women who have given birth in prison. Most of the population of women in this prison were married or co-habiting prior to their arrest. Many were from ethnic minorities and serving time for drug offenses. According to the lackluster innmate medical records, only three were qualified to receive treatment for mental health issues. It was found that these inmate medical records were a poor source of mental health information because most of these pregnant women in prison were struggling with severe depression and needed treatment. So, better mental health records and treatment needs to be available to pregnant women in prisons because untreated depression could negatively affect both the mother and the fetus.
