SINGAPORE – Ms Sally was halfway through serving a drug rehabilitation sentence, when her fellow inmates started telling her she looked different.
Still, she was sent for a urine test and was shocked to find out she was five months pregnant. She was transferred to another part of the prison that is closer to medical services.The prison reviewed her rehabilitation sentence, taking into account her pregnancy. It ordered an earlier release and put her on home-tagging.
In response to queries from The Straits Times, Singapore Prison Service said that about 100 women inmates had given birth during their prison sentence in the past five years. According to the law, a child born to a female inmate during her imprisonment may be allowed to stay with her in prison, if it is considered to be in the child’s best interest.Inmates with family support would typically opt for the baby to be cared for by family members, such as spouses, parents and relatives. Close friends can also take on this role if an inmate is estranged from their family.
ST understands that even though the law allows for babies to stay in prison with their mother, the general preference is for mothers to explore other caregiving options. This is because the prison environment is not seen as conducive for raising a child. When the inmate goes into labour, she is transferred to KKH for delivery, and will return to prison to serve the rest of the sentence only after she is deemed fit to do so by the doctors at KKH.
