DENVER A Colorado bill aims to improve healthcare for pregnant women, including those who are incarcerated, less than three years since a woman filed a federal lawsuit after giving birth in a Denver jail cell with no medical care.
Diana Sanchez gave birth alone in her jail cell in July 2018 after deputies and nurses allegedly ignored her pleas during about five hours of labor. Sanchez and her son will receive nearly $500,000 in periodic installments from a lawsuit settlement with the city and Denver Health Medical Center, which employed the jail’s nurses.
But her lawyer, Mari Newman, said the outcomes aren’t always positive, noting that an incarcerated woman she represented over 20 years ago lost her baby because she didn’t receive care. Legislation is “critically necessary” because things haven’t changed, Newman said.
