‘They were moving me all around and I had a broken neck.’
Imagine falling and breaking your neck, but no one takes you to the hospital right away.
That’s exactly what a local woman says happened to her inside the St. Clair County Jail and now she’s trying to make sure something like this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Lisa Brown takes full responsibility for why she ended up briefly behind bars. But now she says a 20-day jail sentence has left her with a life sentence of partial paralysis and disability.
Oh no. It depends on if any/which nerves are crushed/cut.
So she literally had to hold her head around to do anything the entire time? That’s crazy. I’m guessing she just stood there motionless on the floor the entire time. That’s what I would do to prevent pain if you move the wrong way.
I know it’s tempting to rationalize something this evil as being fake. It would be nice if it were. But these kinds of comments just serve to further deny humanity to people who end up this badly mistreated.
I totally don’t think it’s fake. I was more interested as to how the heck she got out of that situation. Like another commenter said, the injury varies, but maybe if you move it gets worse. But like somebody must have found her on the floor and helped her? I’m thinking maybe somebody found her on the floor then called paramedics? Because otherwise maybe she wouldn’t have had a chance at all.
I had sciatica pain and the best way to avoid it was to just not move my legs. Otherwise it was like normal normal…oh you’re dying from the pain, then back to normal. So I’m guessing that’s how it feels on the neck with a nerve injury that produces pain.
She had a broken fucking neck. It’s not up for debate. Just stop.
