Abstract: In fiscal year 2021, the United States House Committee on
Appropriations directed that BJS include statistics in its data
collections that relate to the health needs of incarcerated pregnant
women in the criminal justice system, including, but not limited to,
the number of pregnant women in custody, outcomes of pregnancies, the
provision of pregnancy care and services, health status of pregnant
women, and racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health, at the
Federal, State, Tribal, and local levels. To address the directive at
the state and federal level, BJS developed the NPS-MatHealth survey, a
one-time supplement to the National Prisoners

the number of pregnancy outcomes by outcome type. Additionally, the
data collected will capture maternal health services and accommodations
among state DOCs and the BOP and provide a 1-day count (December 31,

women residing in a nursery or residential program in which the infant
resides with the mother.
