Should pregnant women still be in prison?
As the Sentencing Council in England and Wales examines the potential impact of being pregnant and giving birth in prison, the Sky News Daily podcast hears from women who’ve been through the experience.

She speaks to Dr Laura Abbott - a midwife and researcher at the University of Hertfordshire - about her research into the dangers of giving birth in prison and Sky News home editor Jason Farrell joins her to discuss his report into the “frightening”, “isolating” and “humiliating” experience of three prisoners during pregnancy.
