"女囚非法結紮"

加州女子監獄在過去幾年受到調查，根據調查報告中心指出，這是因為據報有150位孕婦簽署了「分娩後永久結紮，卻並未遵從必要的國家批審程序」的報導浮出水面。

根據法律規定，醫療程序必須通過醫事審議委員會的批准，但經發現加州科羅那的加州女子監獄，以及位於兆吉拉的山谷州立女子監獄，在2006年到2010年間都並未遵從這樣的程序，時間甚至可能長達更久。

一位名叫詹姆斯亨萊特的醫生稱此要價147,460美金的程序具有「成本效益」，他表示：「和你為了她們多生下這些不想要的孩子所要省下的福利費用比起來」，這樣的價格相當便宜。

囚犯正出面透露這些消息，說他們被迫要接受結紮，而且沒有「其他非永久性的相等選項，比如可移除的節育器（子宮內裝置）」用來避孕。一名囚犯甚至描述「是在被綁在手術台上，為剖腹產施打鎮靜劑時，被迫同意進行輸卵管結紮手術。」

(Health) Female Inmates Illegally Sterilized

Californian womens prisons have come under scrutiny over the past several years as reports that 150 pregnant women were signed up for permanent sterilization after they gave birth, without following the required state approval procedure, have surfaced, according to the Center for Investigative Reporting.

According to the law, medical procedures must be approved by a medical review committee, but it has come to light that Californias California Institute for Women in Corona, and Valley State Prison in Chowchilla, werent following this procedure between 2006 and 2010, possibly even longer.

One doctor, Dr. James Heinright, described the procedure, which cost $147, 460, as cost efficient, stating the cost was cheap, compared to what you save in welfare paying for these unwanted children-as they procreated more.

Inmates are now coming forward with stories of being pressured into receiving the sterilization treatments and not being given alternative recommendations of less permanent equivalents, like a removable IUD (intra-uterine device) used for contraception prevention. One inmate even described being, pressured to agree to a tubal ligation while strapped down and sedated in preparation for a C-section.
