‘Everything Done Properly’

Unbelievable. In a Pennsylvania prison, an inmate in labor is left alone in her cell to give birth, monitored only by a camera.
After she gives birth and the baby drops out onto the floor, the guard cuts the umbilical cord with her dirty fingernails.
County officials are contending the staff at the prison reacted “fantastically” and told local reporters they believed the prison guards and the nurse on duty were diligent in their care.
County commissioner and chairman of the county prison board A.J. Munchak, Warden Janine Donate and Dr. Edward Zaloga, the county prison’s chief medical director, all praised the staff.
Have I ever mentioned that once upon a time, Pennsylvania was the first prison system in the world to focus on rehabilitating prisoners and treating them humanely?
Glad we stopped that nonsense!
