Advocating for Abolition in Health Law: A Theory and Praxis to Liberate Black Incarcerated Women

"NIH" in grey rectangular arrow pointing to "NLM"
Article on the intersection between health law and incarceration of Black women.

Description

The prison-industrial complex has historically operated as a mechanism for social control generally and as a tool to restrict women’s reproductive capacities specifically. Reproductive justice is a domain within the practice of health law. However, health law as currently practiced is ill-equipped to understand how the carceral state functions as a structural determinant of health or how legacies of oppression have facilitated the abridgment of incarcerated women’s reproductive capacities.
