"Six current and former female inmates at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin filed suit in federal court in Oakland Thursday alleging that Alameda County sheriff's deputies mistreated them and in some cases coerced them to have abortions.
The suit says the case "arises from a strong and highly reprehensible pattern and practice of aggressively misogynist, apparently programmatic, maltreatment of women prisoners -- so severe as to have resulted in two recent miscarriages and a third woman giving birth, alone and unattended, in a solitary confinement cell.""
