IN 2001 KELLI DILLON was an inmate in Central California Women’s Facility when she began experiencing pain in her abdomen. A doctor, suspecting ovarian cysts, ordered a biopsy. But after the procedure, Ms Dillon started having heart palpitations and night sweats. Her periods stopped. The doctor had not only removed the cysts, he had also taken out her ovaries. She had been sterilised at the age of 24.
Mr Johnson found evidence of 148 instances between 2006 and 2010 in which doctors in two prisons had performed unauthorised tubal ligations on inmates. Some women said that they were pressed to get the procedures, which were often added onto surgeries such as caesarean sections; others were not properly informed about what would take place. Dr James Heinrich, who performed many of the operations, told Mr Johnson he had been saving the state from having to pay welfare for “unwanted children”.
. Ms Cohn had limited access to her sources in prison and it was hard to get access to documents. Because some of the key events had already happened behind bars, “we chose to carefully reconstruct, each memory, each moment, each constricted space,” she says. She weaves these into a compelling narrative with a combination of interviews and archival footage.
Why is such an inhuman practice unbelievable? The torture inflicted on the Jews during the war is still unbelievable and unbearable as is the host of other atrocities committed by man against man in the name of national pride!
