It’s a gross injustice to shackle a woman in labor or who has just given birth. Doing this is just one way to humiliate someone. Most women in prison have committed nonviolent crimes. This is unconscionable in a civilized country, and it must be changed. Work in your state to change it. Go to your legislators.
There should be no chains for a pregnant
woman in labor and there should be
no chains for the unborn babies who want to be born.
Yes, people go to prison because they did something bad, but there should be a reason that it’s called the reform system. Because of something bad they did at one time in their life leave them with a permenent /semi permentant injury ? Leaving jail with an injury could an ex con at a disadvantage to finding work, and making a living. Possibly encoraging them to commit a crime, live on disability, wlfare,etc. Instead of becoming a better citizen.
Women are not animals, and this practice must be ended in all fifty states, not state by state.
Thats what happens to criminals
