The Jackson County Jail’s Expecting…

Lately, western Missouri seems to be attracting law enforcement personal who don’t understand pregnancy. First there were the two cops in January who let a Sudanese woman miscarry when they refused her medical treatment. Then in July an Independence cop came under fire for pulling over a pregnant woman and forcing her to lie on her stomach on the ground. And now, the Jackson County Detention Center has reportedly hired a new director of corrections who’s leaving her last job under a cloud of similar bad press.
