A mentally ill woman had to give birth alone in a Broward County, Florida, jail cell, almost seven hours after asking for medical assistance, her lawyers said in a letter to the sheriff.
Calling their client's treatment"outrageous and inhumane," public defenders Howard Finkelstein and Gordon Weekes Jr. said jail and medical personnel knew Tammy Jackson was full term when she complained early April 10 that she has having contractions and requested help. The staff did not take Jackson to a hospital, the lawyers further told Sheriff Gregory Tony. Rather, at 3:16 a.m., they tried to contact an on-call doctor, who could not be reached until 7:22 a.m.
"After providing a short statement via email, Carter said CNN would have to file an official records request to see the incident report filed after Jackson gave birth. The North Broward Bureau houses minimum- and medium-security offenders and its main mission is to manage"the mentally ill, medically infirm and special needs inmate population," according to the sheriff's office.
