REGULATORY ALERT: SHACKLING OF PREGNANT INMATES
 

I am holding you directly responsible for this abuse.

If an animal were delivering a fold would you shackle it?

We treat animals more humanely than we do our prisoners and their babies!!

Stop shackling pregnant females during various stages

of their pregnancy and delivery at the various facilities under your jurisdiction

NOW !!!!
