Amends TCA Title 39; Title 40 and Title 41.

This bill prohibits: (1) Removal of a pregnant prisoner, beginning on the date on which pregnancy is confirmed by a healthcare professional and ending at the conclusion of postpartum recovery, to a state penitentiary or a branch prison for safekeeping, unless medically necessary for the health of the prisoner. This provision is notwithstanding the present law provision authorizing the sheriff to convey prisoners to the nearest sufficient jail in the state, or juvenile detention if a juvenile, for safekeeping when the county jail is insufficient; and (2) Solitary confinement for pregnant inmates and inmates who have given birth within the past eight weeks regardless of whether the purpose of confinement is for punishment or safekeeping, unless the inmate has demonstrated potential self-harm, harm to the unborn child, or harm to other inmates or correction staff. A period of solitary confinement must be limited to the shortest time possible given the safety situation. The reasons for the use of solitary confinement must be documented in the inmate's medical record as appropriate.
