Ashley Banks' case is the tip of the iceberg. Pregnant and postpartum people are being jailed and mistreated in Alabama and across the country.
Babbel's language lessons are created by real language experts to help you converse in real-world conversations.Also in Etowah County, a mother of two named Hali Burns was arrested while visiting her newborn son in the NICU six days after giving birth, now over two months ago, because she’d tested positive for methamphetamine and Subutex during her pregnancy. Burns’ lawyers say the drug tests were false positives stemming from sinus medication, and she has a prescription for Subutex.
Burns’ lawyer, Morgan Cunningham, says barring new moms and pregnant people from going home to await trial like all other defendants, all because of perceived threats to their fetus or newborn, is “not constitutional.” For context, Cunningham added: “I have reckless murder cases where defendants have been released on bond.” A deputy district attorney for Etowah County justified the county’s treatment of Burns, telling AL.com she “desperately needs the help we are offering here today.
Just last year, another woman, Brittney Pickard, was arrested 10 days after giving birth because her newborn tested positive for marijuana. Pickard says that when she learned she was going to jail, she “was still going through postpartum, still bleeding, still had stitches down there.” At the jail, she told AL.com it took a day to get pads she needed for her bleeding, and she was denied pain medication for soreness in her abdomen.
