For women who become pregnant, the Sentence Enforcement Act states that the woman shall be admitted to an appropriate separate facility, that she will be guaranteed preand postnatal medical care and care for the newborn, and that women prisoners and newborns will be ensured the minimum conditions to remain together during the breastfeeding period. Act No. 11634 of 27 December 2007 and Act No. 11108 of 7 April 2008 are also to be applied, guaranteeing pregnant women the right to be informed about and attached to a maternity clinic and the right to a birth companion. 129. In addition to the Sentence Enforcement Act, the Family Planning Act (Act No. 9263 of 12 January 1996) should be considered. Women have the right of access to contraceptive methods – not to be confused with sterilization or with population-control policies. 130. The National Council on Criminal and Penitentiary Policy adopted two resolutions on this subject. The first, Resolution No. 14 of 11 November 1994, which established minimum rules for the treatment of prisoners in Brazil, states that women shall serve their terms in separate facilities and that conditions shall be such as to ensure that the female inmate will be able to remain with her children during the breastfeeding period. 131. The second, Resolution No. 4 of 15 July 2009, regulates the stay, residence and subsequent transfer of women prisoners’ children. The resolution states that the permanence of the maternal bond must be considered primordial in all situations and that children must have the right to stay with their mothers until they are at least 18 months of age, after which a gradual process of separation should begin. The Resolution likewise states that the choice of home for the child shall be made by the mother and father, with the help of professionals from the prison social and psychological services or the courts, and looking at options in the following order: extended family, foster family, institutions. 132. To guarantee these rights, the Federal Government ordered that all correctional facilities housing women should provide prenatal care for low and high risks and guarantee access by all pregnant women in prison to care in the event of complications and for childbirth. The units now equipped have 260 registered teams and can attend to women in prison and instruct mothers in first aid, connecting them with primary care networks. 133.
