Preposterous. Sleep, diet, activities, even socializing all impact the development of a fetus. These are the domains of choice to which free people are entitled, none of which are freely available in a cell.
It's not just "medical care" to which we're entitled. Even sunlight must be an option.
- Georgelemental 4y agoThe state has to balance the interest that the child has in receiving adequate care, with the interest that outside society has in not having murderers walking freely in the street. Ideally, the state would provide the best care that it can inside the jail/prison.
- rexpop 4y agoYes, of course the state is balancing interests, where did I imply otherwise?
- alphabettsy 4y agoSure, but is the mother there for murder? Does this cost more than some alternative that’s “too soft”?
- hbrn 4y agoShe is accused of murder. Harrell, 24, has been jailed without bond since July, when she was accused of fatally shooting another woman and charged with second-degree murder
