Shackling of Pregnent Women Prisoners
 

I would like to request the Board of Correction to strongly consider to follow the policy of the Virginia Department of Corrections and restraint from shackling pregnent women prisoners. This is an insult to their human dignity and their is no reason for this to be happening.  Thank you for your careful cosideration of this request.
