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.

‘They were moving me all around and I had a broken neck.’

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.

    The taxpayers are gonna lose millions while the cops responsible for this suffer no consequences whatsoever. And any politician trying to hold them responsible will be treated as being “weak on crime.”

      That’s the really disgusting part. It’s disgusting they designed a system like this, and that the system is working as designed. This is not an oversight. This is intentional.
