Let's revisit my previous comment...
Confirmed.
Not sure what relevance this has in the political thread. Generally speaking moms are always prioritized in a conjugal violence case, which is sad for many dads that are de-facto left apart from their child.
NOW that being said. This one case is classic US repression style right there. She goes to jail for 2.5 years for drug possession, which is absolutely ridiculous, and doesn't get to see her child because of this? Was she a dealer? No. Was she a smuggler? No. Did she kill someone? No. She had some dope on her, big deal. Instead of helping her (rehab, counselling, etc.) the state locks her up for 2.5 years, and guess what? She might come out of jail a criminal because that's what you need to become to survive.
US: Our prisons are overpopulated! Our criminals become hardened criminals when they leave jail!
US *Jails someone for marijuana possession* *racial profiling and warning shots* *Jail a kid for drinking before 21*
This issue is much bigger than this case. Your entire custodial system needs a major reform. Repression, as proven time and time again, does NOT work. Rehabilitation is the only way to integrate these folks back into society.
