New York will pay $ 610 thousand woman who was forced to give birth in handcuffs

New York agreed to pay $ 610 to 000 to the woman who the police kept in handcuffs during childbirth.

Jane Doe, that is exactly what the name appears in the lawsuit against the city, began to give birth in the Bronx prison a few hours after the arrest of 7 in February of 2018 year.

Her lawyer, Kathryn Rosenfeld, said that a woman was arrested in a family court in Bronx County for violating the order during the custody of children with her ex-boyfriend.

According to her lawyer, there was no urgent need to arrest a woman in 40 week of pregnancy.

According to the lawsuit, the next morning, Jane Doe was transferred from prison to the Montefiore Medical Center with metal handcuffs on her wrists and ankles, which restricted her movement.

Recall that since 2009, in New York, it was forbidden to keep pregnant women in iron handcuffs in prison or at the police station. In 2015, this rule was changed to ban any restriction of movement for pregnant women.

At the hospital, doctors asked police officers to remove the handcuffs, saying that they could endanger the life of the woman and her child.

When the doctors approached the police chief, they were told that the use of handcuffs was NYPD policy.

“Doe never fought, resisted or acted aggressively while in NYPD custody,” the lawsuit states.

After repeated complaints from her doctors, the police officers removed the handcuffs a few minutes before she gave birth. However, they were dressed again after childbirth.

She had to feed her newborn daughter with one hand.

As a result, the court accused the city, the police of New York and the employees involved in the attack, the unlawful use of containment measures and the violation of the constitutional rights of women.

Detective Sophia Mason stated that the Police Department intends to amend the patrols guide, “to better address safety and medical issues,” of those arrested during the late stages of pregnancy and during childbirth.

According to Rosenfeld, the woman was faced with "a terrible violation of her rights by the police in New York during one of the most intimate moments in a woman's life."

“Police should publicly apologize to Doe for this incident in the form of monetary compensation and a review of Department policy,” Rosenfeld said.

The second lawyer, Ashok Chandran, thanked the doctors of Montefiore for defending the woman during childbirth and during the trial.
