That’s a really good point… if Ms. Moe starts trying to hurt herself that would force the jail to restrain her. Nine months of solitary confinement with physical restraints while pregnant… restraining a pregnant woman is usually seen as a violation of human rights… if that isn’t cruel and unusual, I don’t know what is.
The question for me is whether that constitutes punishment, and whether it is justified, given these particular circumstances.
