Clearly the cops or security guards are not fit enough to chase a woman in labour who might try to escape. The cops are incompetent...

She was under arrest. Lmfao how is that not in the title they didnt shackle some random woman giving birth they arrested her for assault. Was brought to jail went through intake then went into labor and brought to the hospital. Does a pregnant woman not have to obey laws?

Yastreblyansky So this is just a little window in, so imagine. If this went down, what everyday treatment of inmates is like. Our prisons are full of unnecessary cruelty. Shackling, solitary, supermax, degradation, filth. The list is about endless.

Chad move tbh
