One plaintiff, 40-year-old Misty White, who was arrested last month for violating a protective order, began suffering withdrawal symptoms because she wasn't provided with her medications in the jail, according to the lawsuit. The county also has a practice of denying court-appointed attorneys to any inmate who does manage to pay bail, according to the suit.
