Deputies taunt female prisoners

More than half of the inmates at the Los Angeles County women's jail are routinely taunted and humiliated by the deputies who guard them and one was even kept shackled while giving birth, says a scathing report issued Wednesday.Troy Anderson in the Daily News.

The report by Merrick Bobb, special counsel to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors, also accuses some of the sheriff's deputies who guard the 2,200 inmates at the nation's largest women's jail of retaliating against those who complained about their treatment.
