What is Prison Birth Project?
Prison Birth Project is a student organization at the University of Michigan that operates at the intersection of reproductive and restorative justice. We aim to ensure legal reproductive healthcare access inside and outside of the carceral system. We also advocate for humane conditions of confinement and smooth reentry to society. Using anti-racist and inclusive practices, PBP engages in research projects, educational initiatives, community outreach, and political organizing.
