I read several accounts of women in the penal system being shackeld during labor. It is truly shocking and sick that this has been happening and apparently continues to happen. I can not actually believe it.
To say I urge you to adopt regulations that put a stop to this does not even come close to expressing my shock that there were even enough people around who thought this was OK to actually let it happen even once.
