Mapping access to abortion from prisons and immigration removal centres in the United Kingdom, British crown dependencies, and the Republic of Ireland

Future research should examine policies that govern access to abortion, and the experiences of both people accessing abortion and health professionals delivering abortion services in a carceral context.
