They threatened her with a disciplinary action if she didn't leave immediately or if she returned. They did in fact tell her to fill out paperwork and put it in the HNR box, which is collected at night. She then told every officer on duty that she needed medical help, they all ignored her pleas. <br /><br />I could not believe the lack of medical care in the jail and prison system. Having private insurance my entire life, I have never had to go without treatment or medications until I was placed in custody where I was denied even the most basic medical care. I am absolutely applaud that we as a civilized society would treat a human being the way Brenda was treated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
