    Jesus, what a nightmare story. That entire article is filled with horror. She must have felt so terrified and alone.

    “After Caswell delivered her baby alone and lost consciousness, staff still refused to render aid and instead took photos of her baby without her consent, her lawyers allege. When she returned to the jail from the hospital, staff denied her access to her prescribed breast pump and ibuprofen.”

    Wtf is wrong with people? It’s so fucking petty and mean. I’m gonna assume that none of the staff will actually face any consequences…?

      “Her lawyers allege…”

      Are you shocked that someone who has a vested interest in portraying someone in as positive a light as possible, does exactly that?

      In case people are confused, lawyers have zero legal obligation to tell the truth, they are not witnesses so they do not face perjury charges.
