On Media Outlook News:  Last week, a jail in Milwaukee, WI was slammed with a class action lawsuit charging its personnel with forcing dozens of women to give birth in shackles. The suit was filed on March 14 on behalf of 27-year-old inmate Melissa Hall, who was pregnant during her incarceration at Milwaukee County Jail in 2013. Hall is said to have been locked in a "belly-chain" described to have bound her wrists to her waist, while her legs were planked with irons, during labor. The suit alleges that the guards responsible for transporting and keeping watch over Hall would refuse to unshackle her despite the insistence of hospital workers. As a result of Hall's confinement, doctors say it was difficult for them to give her an epidural and she was forced to endure more pain. The markings of the shackles are reported to have been left on her body. The prison oversaw the same procedure for at least 40 other inmates, the suit alleges; accusing the facility of inflict

On Media Outlook News: W hen your daddy walked through the house he was so big he filled it up. That was my first mistake. Not to make him leave room for me.” – Rose Maxson,  Fences When I first heard Viola Davis brilliantly dramatize this classic August Wilson line in her Oscar-award winning performance in  Fences , it actually took me aback for a moment. It was such an overwhelmingly powerful concept packed into three simple lines near the end of a movie in which Denzel Washington skillfully portrayed exactly what that feeling meant. As a man, I was familiar with Denzel’s character, because that was what I was told alpha manhood was: being a highly driven, take charge, responsibility-focused provider who could light a room up with his laugh and darken the entire houses’ aura with his scowl. That’s called being a man’s man… or so I thought. Growing up, this hyper-masculine ideal was implanted in and through every aspect of society, right along with the rigidity of tradit
