A federal lawsuit has alleged a woman was forced to give birth alone on the floor of a jail cell while screamed in pain for help.
Jazmin Valentine filed a lawsuit against Washington County and a jail health contractor claiming she was forced to give birth alone in a cell
‘Ms Valentine experienced one of the most profound and painful moments in anyone’s life alone, on a filthy cell floor with no sanitation, no medical care, and no assistance of any kind,’ the lawsuit states. ‘She had not so much as a blanked for comfort.’ According to the lawsuit, the two PrimeCare nurses stationed at the jail did not perform an initial exam on Valentine. When a sheriff’s deputy heard Valentine’s cries for help, the nurses told her that she was suffering from drug withdrawals and would not have the baby soon.
The father called the jail and tried desperately to get her medical attention, but was ignored. Valentine alleges in the lawsuit that she overheard the nurses laughing about her boyfriend’s call.
