The Government Accountability Office issued a new report on conditions for incarcerated pregnant women in federal custody.

It's the second of two reports requested by Rep. Raul Grijalva and other members of Congress in 2017.

The report focuses on pregnant women in the custody of the Department of Justice, who are being held by the U.S. Marshals Service or the Bureau of Prisons.

Gretta Goodwin, is a director with the Homeland Security and Justice team at the Government Accountability Office. She says they looked at policies on pregnancy-related care.

"Things like whether the pregnant women are offered mental health services and counseling, whether there are provisions for any type of prenatal care or any type of postpartum care,” she said.

The GAO recommended both agencies align their policies with guidelines created by American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

There are three Bureau of Prison facilities in Arizona that house female offenders — one in Phoenix, and two in Tucson.

Grijalva said the report shows a lack of data and appropriate care for the treatment of incarcerated pregnant women. He called upon the facilities to make immediate improvements.

According to the report, there were at least 1,220 pregnant women in U.S. Marshals Service custody and 524 pregnant women in Bureau of Prisons custody from 2017 to 2019.
