So “use of force” here can mean handcuffed while going to an appointment per the high security prisons protocols?
“You are stripped of your dignity in prison, but this is a hospital and I am pulling my leggings down and I am attached to a stranger. I felt like the doctor was embarrassed, and therefore everything was very rushed.” The process was “unnecessary,” said Beatrice, pointing out that she posed no risk to the staff or the public. But she also warned that the lack of privacy and dignity could risk women’s health. “It was dangerous,” she said. “When you are in a medical appointment, particularly an intimate appointment, it should just be you and the doctor. You don’t want to share medical information with someone who locks you in your cell every day.”
Bitch you in prison
“It was so unnecessary, especially for women. Because women are not there for violent offences, they are not a risk to the public,” she said.
They are a risk to themselves with self harm being the trigger for use of force against them the article said this…
This reads very very entitled like what the fuck did you think prison was going to be?
“Women are spending prolonged periods locked in their cells, and use of force is too often deployed as a response to prisoner-on-prisoner bullying"
prisoner on prisoner bullying yea okay mate.
