Many states fail to adequately protect incarcerated women from sexual misconduct at the hands of corrections staff and allow the dangerous practice of shackling inmates during the third trimester of pregnancy -- including during labor and delivery.

The link to the report of all such cases in California is http://www.amnestyusa.org/women/custody/states/california.pdf
