If you think being in the back of a Conestoga wagon traveling in the middle of no where on rough dirt paths was not as bad as concrete well, "you CAN'T reason with UN-reasonable people".
Official response is that the department responded appropriately.
So....watching her through a window.... push a baby out.... with no-one to guide the newborn's head safely, is a normal prison birth? What if it were breech or had the cord around it's neck, or she had placenta previa and started bleeding to death. She was not alone in the woods, she was in a county jail with nursing staff, that saw she was pregnant when they checked her to jail...
You should read some of the books on what goes on in prisons. It's horrendous. Infections they won't treat until a limb needs to be removed. Cancer that goes untreated. Needed medication that isn't dispensed.
Incarceration in itself should be the punishment. They don't need to add to the punishment with additional abuse by ignoring medical needs of prisoners.
People who want cradle to grave government care (and that's well over 99% of the population in my mind) should do a stint in prison (this was jail but the point remains) and see how they're treated by master.
The prison industrial complex.
Where someone commits a minor crime, is then stripped of their human dignity, treated like an absolute animal and can possibly come out of prison 100x worse than before.
The entire system needs to be overhauled.
This is NOT an isolated incident.
Take it out of the prison employees pay, starting with the TOP.
That's one of the problems, not a single government employee is EVER held accountable for their actions. The taxpayers ALWAYS are on the hook for government employees' wrongs. Where is the justice in that? Where is the DETERRENT? If they WERE held accountable (especially financially accountable), we would not have as many problems as we do today. Those who work for the government to uphold laws, house prisoners, create court rulings, etc. should be held MORE accountable for improper behavior and their downright law-breaking.

Exactly. It's only when someone at the top is found to be so egregious with something that those at the bottom are the fall guys.
While I don't think they should be living cushy lives in prison, what they experience is horrendous. The whole thing needs revamping, as you state, with people held accountable and improvements all around.
