A:
1.A prison will not take in female inmates who are pregnant for more than five months or have given birth less than two months earlier according to regulations. Female inmates who do not meet the aforesaid conditions must serve their sentence in prison.
2.After a pregnant inmate is admitted into a correctional facility, the facility will arrange them to be seen by an obstetrician to learn about the length of her pregnancy and condition of the fetus. For inmates who are more than five months pregnant and meet the conditions for giving birth outside prison, the correctional facility will assist them in the application process.
