An immersive educational experience exploring pregnancy, childbirth, and family separation behind bars.
Ostara Initiative’s Prison Birth Simulation is an interactive, experiential learning opportunity designed to help participants understand what it means to experience pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery while incarcerated.
Through a guided reenactment, participants are invited to experience some of the physical, emotional, and systemic realities faced by pregnant and birthing people in custody. The simulation explores institutional restrictions, surveillance, loss of autonomy, separation from newborns, access to healthcare, and the importance of dignity, advocacy, and compassionate care.
This experience is designed to deepen understanding, build empathy, and create meaningful opportunities for reflection and dialogue around the treatment of pregnant and parenting people in the criminal justice system.
Ostara provides experienced facilitators, simulation preparation, educational framing, and on-site facilitation. Each engagement is coordinated with the hosting organization to meet its audience, goals, and event needs.
