Pregnant Cook County Jail Inmates Win Settlement In Class Action Lawsuit
This is the way you do it!! Female inmates who were shackled and chained during the delivery and birth of a child, filed a class action suit against Cook County Jail and won a $4.1 million dollar settlement!
"The class action lawsuit against Cook County Jail alleging that the women were shackled while they were giving birth and recovering from labor, despite a state law that forbids the practice".
