Hi, my sister recently just transferred to Bryan and she's pregnant. I just wanted to know how are preganant people treated in prison and do they get the proper medical care.

I wasnt pregnant but I taught the GED program there and have several girls in my classes that were. I can say that being pregnant, your sister will probably get better care than most. Medical facility there leaves a lot to be desired. But I do know that with her condition she will have an advantage. :)

I was going to suggest the MINT program too!

Mothers and Infants Together (MINT) Program
BOP Program Statement 5200

This program is an alternative, residential program for minimum security women who are pregnant at the time of sentencing. Women are eligible to enter this program at a Community Correction Center (CCC) during their last months (usually two (2) months) of pregnancy. After the birth of the child the mother is allowed three (3) months with the child to form a bond with the new born. Prior to placement in the MINT Program, the mother is required to make arrangements for a custodian to care for the child during her incarceration. Following the three (3) month bonding period, the mother is returned to an institution to complete her sentence.
