Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Little is known about abortion and contraception policy in prisons in Canada. The aim of this study was to determine policies governing access to abortion and contraception in prisons in Canada. Between 2022 and 2023, we sent freedom of information requests to each province and territory and to the federal government of Canada, requesting any information with respect to policies governing abortion and contraception in prisons and jails. Our review identified only one outdated policy pertaining to abortion access, and no policies governing hormonal contraception. The lack of proactive policy to assert access to commonly required services threatens reproductive autonomy.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
