Media Source: The link Mary sent us in our emails.

Preflection: Well, this report suprised me alot, I can't believe our government would do those kinds of things and the public wouldnt be very aware of it. This report talks about shackling women when they are giving childbirth in prison. Just because they are felons or have done something wrong doesnt mean that they shoudlnt have good conditions to give birth in. Everyone is the same physically and it isnt going to hurt them any less having a baby, so they should be able to have equal conditions to give birth in, even if it is heavily guarded and protected in the prison. There is no reason they should be restrained while they are in labor. Also, it talks about how some of the police officers have tortured their suspects. Yeah, the suspects werent too innocent themselves probably, but that does not call for the police officer to torture them. Then the courts didnt sentence him to be excecuted. Of all the other people that get executed for less serious reasons, youd think that he would too. One other thing that really suprised me was that some jueniles are put in prison with a life sentence and no chance to ever get out on parole. Many kids make mistakes but their whole life shouldnt be shoved down the drain because of what they did at 15 or 16. If you put those kids in prison for 10 years they would see that it is not worth it to get back out and do what they did to get them in there. They will see that it would be a waste to sit in prison for the rest of their life, and hopefully would get out and turn themselves around with the help of a parole officer.

Reflection: We really didnt talk about this too in deapth in class..but from what we did talk about, it really followed closely to what my thoughts were. Really no one thought it was right that the government was doing this..and no one really knew it was going on to this extent until we read the article.

How I used this: I told my family about it and none of them had any idea it was going on either..so it was a really good discussion started and I knew lots of facts about it so i felt like i could be an active member of the conversation.

RU sure that is the truth or just one persons story? Does it interview any of the women that were there? What did they have to say?
