#ScenesfromLostMothers

Being in a sold-out theatre watching #ScenesfromLostMothers has been incredible. 2 see shifts in public opinion was what we hoped for. We can & will stop sending pregnant women to prison. Thanks 2 amazing @cleanbrk.bsky.social cast & team ❤️

Handcuffing pregnant women is cruel & unnecessary. It causes deep humiliation & endangers health, especially if in labour. We must stop imprisoning pregnant women 🛑Community support, not prison! @cleanbrk.bsky.social @birthcompanions.bsky.social @janeystarling.bsky.social #scenesfromlostmothers

Handcuffing pregnant women is inhumane & dangerous. 42% of women in prison r on remand, unconvicted - most 4 non-violent offenses. Community support, not prison is needed! #scenesfromlostmothers
