So the frick what!

We're in the United States...we don't fricking not feed prisoners for days at a time, nor do we not give medical attention to those who clearly need it.

How fricking low have our standards dropped in this country?

Yeah, people are pretty fricked nowadays. But on the same token, we're all conditioned that way for the most part. Straight division across all planes.

For many people they see prisoners as less than human. They forget that those people are still human and do deserve to be treated as human beings regardless of what landed them in jail.

They is what supposed to separate us from 3rd world countries.

What happened to this lady is a crime.

Maybe if they were a bit lower people wouldn't be so willing to go to prison.

Easy Slim. I didn’t say it was justified treatment I was just pointing out that the stated cause of death seemed suspect. People can go 30 days w/o food so I find it suspect that the article claims starvation from 5 days. Or maybe you just believe as fact whatever you read on the interwebs?

SCORE personnel repeatedly observed and noted that she had mental health and physical problems but did nothing in four days to treat her, the suit says. Rodriguez was observed vomiting, stumbling in circles, grabbing her genitalia, spinning in circles, lying on her face, throwing food and displaying other erratic behavior, but she was never attended to, it says.


Kinda hard to throw food if you aren't given any

The headline got the desired emotional reaction it wanted. Was she starved or did she not eat?

Reading quotes from the article is apparent that it wasn’t the not eating that killed her, it was the not admitting her to the hospital or giving her medical care after she vomited.

As I said in a previous post, the jail will get sued and lose their arse
