Tennessee could become the latest state to strictly limit the shackling of pregnant inmates under legislation headed to Governor Bill Lee’s desk. The bill would generally prohibit restraints of a pregnant inmate. More specifically, a pregnant inmate’s ankles, legs or waist couldn’t be shackled during labor or delivery. It also would not allow a pregnant inmate to be shackled behind the back or to be attached to another inmate. Governor Lee has not yet weighed in on whether he’ll sign the bill. It comes after an incident back in 2013, when Tennessee made national headlines after a federal judge ruled that jail officers showed “deliberate indifference” when they cuffed a woman to her hospital bed through most of her labor and during recovery.
