Unless you have been in labor yourself you cannot understand the travesty of this practice. Pain during labor is debilitating and seems unsurvivable. I urge you to rethink this practice and choose to be more humane when an inmate goes into active labor. Restraints only jeopardize the wellbeing of both parties while undergoing the birth process.
