BEYOND PUNISHMENT Betty Brink, writer and reporter for the Fort Worth Weekly is the author of Carswell Prison Blues, an article that ran in the Summer 2008 issue of Ms Magazine on medical neglect suffered by the female prison population in that Federal facility. Brink writes of several specific cases including that of Linda Fenton who was found comatose on her cot just 2 days before her release with a sheet wrapped so tightly around her neck it had to be cut off. Although Fenton never regained consciousness, attendants kept her shackled to a gurney until she left the prison hospital in a body bag. Betty Brinks fill us in on the Carswell Prison blues
