Jailers in Kentucky were notified in September that the Department was requiring and paying for the pregnancy test of every female state inmate that was of child bearing age.

If that test is positive, the woman is transferred quickly to the Kentucky Correctional Institution for Women to ensure they receive proper prenatal care.

Since the program began, about 25 women have been transferred into KCIW for prenatal care and to serve their sentences.

Is there a program for them to pay that money back?

No, it is all on you and me.
