It tells the story of 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was unarmed when BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot him on the Fruitvale train platform early New Year’s Day 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I visited Oakland’s Youth Uprising Community Center. There I met Brandon Robbins and Dimitrius McWilliams. The two young men didn’t know Oscar Grant, but they say they identify with him in many ways. Robbins says he took BART to San Francisco from Fruitvale on New Year’s Eve and heard about the shooting the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brandon Robbins:\u003c/strong> I saw it online and when I saw it online the first thing I thought was this is just visual evidence of something that happens, I don’t want to say quite often, but it happens. It’s happened in history plenty of times. It’s just the first time it’s actually on camera, flat out on camera. I didn’t realize the power of social media in this decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: After you learned about what happened, did it change the way you felt when you rode BART? Did it change the way you felt in society?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: No, because for me since I was a kid, my parents, we really don’t like the police and there’s reasons. For me it’s always been I try to stay far away from the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What about you Dimitrius? Did your outlook change at all after the Oscar Grant killing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dimitrius McWilliams\u003c/strong>: My outlook on BART police changed in that I’m more cautious and it kinds of makes me think that could have been me if I was him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The movie comes out tomorrow. You’ve seen the trailers, but you haven’t seen the film, neither one of you. What are you hoping this movie shows?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: I would hope and think they would go into more of the case, the facts about the case. It’s similar to the Trayvon Martin case, at this point it’s become much bigger than Oscar Grant. It’s become a civilians v. the police type thing, so I’m hoping that they actually in a way celebrate him, but at the same time make it very clear this is an issue and this is an issue that won’t be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: And how about you Dimitrius?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I feel every time I see the trailer I get kind of happy, because it’s starting to show you can do anything, make a movie about it and bring it to everybody’s attention and they can have a conversation about it and have the ability to speak about how they feel. Also, when the movie comes out I hope it shows things aren’t always what it seems. You can have one side of the story and the other side of the story, but this movie, like what Brandon was saying, I hope it also does show the actual inside, in-depth details, not too in-depth, but in-depth details, so people can actually understand and not just say, \"Mehserle, blah, blah, blah, he’s racist, he’s racist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Of course, the backdrop is your town Oakland, the place you live. What are you hoping for Oakland?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I want to see Oakland join and stop all the fighting, and everybody should all at least care for one another, start caring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Do you think a movie has that kind of power?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: Yeah, it definitely can. They say video games have that kind of power, so I think a movie can. Because I know plenty of people who were like, “Oh, Mehserle is a cold-blooded killer,” but then they’ll go outside and do around the same thing. They’ll shoot somebody or they’ll say, “I should have shot him.” We shall see, we shall see if the movie has as much power. But, I’m the type of person, I can watch ‘Lion King’ and get something from it. I think this is an opportunity. We can pivot things, definitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Brandon, Demetrius, thank you so much. Johannes Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the case.

It’s become a civilians v. the police type thing, so I’m hoping that they actually in a way celebrate him, but at the same time make it very clear this is an issue and this is an issue that won’t be tolerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: And how about you Dimitrius?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I feel every time I see the trailer I get kind of happy, because it’s starting to show you can do anything, make a movie about it and bring it to everybody’s attention and they can have a conversation about it and have the ability to speak about how they feel. Also, when the movie comes out I hope it shows things aren’t always what it seems. You can have one side of the story and the other side of the story, but this movie, like what Brandon was saying, I hope it also does show the actual inside, in-depth details, not too in-depth, but in-depth details, so people can actually understand and not just say, \"Mehserle, blah, blah, blah, he’s racist, he’s racist.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Of course, the backdrop is your town Oakland, the place you live. What are you hoping for Oakland?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>McWilliams:\u003c/strong> I want to see Oakland join and stop all the fighting, and everybody should all at least care for one another, start caring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Do you think a movie has that kind of power?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: Yeah, it definitely can. They say video games have that kind of power, so I think a movie can. Because I know plenty of people who were like, “Oh, Mehserle is a cold-blooded killer,” but then they’ll go outside and do around the same thing. They’ll shoot somebody or they’ll say, “I should have shot him.” We shall see, we shall see if the movie has as much power. But, I’m the type of person, I can watch ‘Lion King’ and get something from it. I think this is an opportunity. We can pivot things, definitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: Brandon, Demetrius, thank you so much. Johannes Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the case. This has been Stephanie Martin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/CxUG-FjefDk\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He did not immediately respond to a message for comment Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neumayr said Apple's introduction of the iBookstore \"gave customers more choice, injecting much needed innovation and competition into the market, breaking Amazon's monopolistic grip on the publishing industry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government claimed Apple and the publishers agreed to a pricing policy that forced millions of consumers to pay several dollars more for most online books. In her ruling, Cote said \"compelling evidence of Apple's participation in the conspiracy came from the words uttered by Steve Jobs, Apple's founder, CEO and visionary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She quoted Jobs, who died in 2011, as saying he understood publishers' concerns that Amazon's $9.99 price for new releases was eroding the perceived value of their products and that Apple was willing to try pricing e-books at $12.99 and $14.99. She noted that Jobs bought an e-book for $14.99 at the launch of Apple's e-book store and told a reporter that day that Amazon's $9.99 price for the same book would be irrelevant because soon all prices will \"be the same.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Apple has struggled mightily to reinterpret Jobs's statements in a way that will eliminate their bite,\" Cote wrote in the 160-page opinion. \"Its efforts have proven fruitless.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cote said damages could be determined at a later point, though she did not immediately schedule a trial on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state attorneys general are seeking unspecified damages. The federal government is seeking an order that Apple be banned for two years from agreements that let publishers rather than retailers set prices and that the company be prohibited from future antitrust law violations. The Justice Department also is asking Apple to establish an antitrust compliance program and antitrust training for executives and to put in place an independent monitoring trustee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial had featured testimony from executives for Apple, publishers and Seattle-based Amazon.com. Witnesses from the publishing industry conceded that they were disappointed that Amazon.com was selling e-books so inexpensively when Apple came along in late 2009 with plans for its e-book store.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Through their conspiracy they forced Amazon (and other resellers) to relinquish retail pricing authority and then they raised retail e-book prices,\" Cote wrote. \"Those higher prices were not the result of regular market forces but of a scheme in which Apple was a full participant.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 12px auto 6px auto;font-family: Helvetica,Arial,Sans-serif;font-style: normal;font-variant: normal;font-weight: normal;font-size: 14px;line-height: normal\">\u003ca title=\"View Judge: Apple Conspired with Publishers to Raise Prices on Electronic Books on Scribd\" href=\"http://www.scribd.com/doc/152966770/Judge-Apple-Conspired-with-Publishers-to-Raise-Prices-on-Electronic-Books\">Judge: Apple Conspired with Publishers to Raise Prices on Electronic Books\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.scribd.com/embeds/152966770/content?start_page=1&view_mode=scroll&show_recommendations=true\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"600\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\n",

He did not immediately respond to a message for comment Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neumayr said Apple's introduction of the iBookstore \"gave customers more choice, injecting much needed innovation and competition into the market, breaking Amazon's monopolistic grip on the publishing industry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government claimed Apple and the publishers agreed to a pricing policy that forced millions of consumers to pay several dollars more for most online books. In her ruling, Cote said \"compelling evidence of Apple's participation in the conspiracy came from the words uttered by Steve Jobs, Apple's founder, CEO and visionary.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She quoted Jobs, who died in 2011, as saying he understood publishers' concerns that Amazon's $9.99 price for new releases was eroding the perceived value of their products and that Apple was willing to try pricing e-books at $12.99 and $14.99. She noted that Jobs bought an e-book for $14.99 at the launch of Apple's e-book store and told a reporter that day that Amazon's $9.99 price for the same book would be irrelevant because soon all prices will \"be the same.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Apple has struggled mightily to reinterpret Jobs's statements in a way that will eliminate their bite,\" Cote wrote in the 160-page opinion. \"Its efforts have proven fruitless.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cote said damages could be determined at a later point, though she did not immediately schedule a trial on them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state attorneys general are seeking unspecified damages. The federal government is seeking an order that Apple be banned for two years from agreements that let publishers rather than retailers set prices and that the company be prohibited from future antitrust law violations. The Justice Department also is asking Apple to establish an antitrust compliance program and antitrust training for executives and to put in place an independent monitoring trustee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial had featured testimony from executives for Apple, publishers and Seattle-based Amazon.com.

The 69-year-old Bay Area physician denied pressuring anyone and expressed surprise that local contract doctors had charged for the surgeries. He described the $147,460 total as minimal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over a 10-year period, that isn’t a huge amount of money,” Heinrich said, “compared to what you save in welfare paying for these unwanted children – as they procreated more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top medical manager at Valley State Prison from 2005 to 2008 characterized the surgeries as an empowerment issue for female inmates, providing them the same options as women on the outside. Daun Martin, a licensed psychologist, also claimed that some pregnant women, particularly those on drugs or who were homeless, would commit crimes so they could return to prison for better health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do I criticize those women for manipulating the system because they’re pregnant? Absolutely not,” Martin, 73, said. “But I don’t think it should happen.

But the Corona prison’s former compliance officer, William Kelsey, said there was disagreement among staff members over the procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During one meeting in late 2005, a few correctional officers differed with Long’s medical team over adding tubal ligations to a local hospital’s contract, Kelsey, 57, said. The officers viewed the surgeries as nonessential medical care and questioned whether the state should pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were just fed up,” Kelsey said. “They didn’t think criminals and inmates had a right to the care we were providing them, and they let their personal opinions be heard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The service was included, however, and Kelsey said the grumbling subsided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal and state \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724320-federal-and-state-law-on-sterilization-using.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laws\u003c/a> ban inmate sterilizations if federal funds are used, reflecting concerns that prisoners might feel pressured to comply. California used state funds instead, but since 1994 the procedure has \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724499-cdcr-excluded-medical-services-amp-other.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">required approval\u003c/a> from top medical officials in Sacramento on a case-by-case basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet no tubal ligation requests have come before the health care committee responsible for approving such restricted surgeries, said Dr. Ricki Barnett, who tracks medical services and costs for the California Prison Health Care Receivership Corp. Barnett, 65, has led the Health Care Review Committee since joining the prison receiver’s office in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we heard about the tubal ligations, it made us all feel slightly queasy,” Barnett said. “It wasn’t so much that people were conspiratorial or coercive or sloppy. It concerns me that people never took a step back to project what they would feel if they were in the inmate’s shoes and what the inmate’s future might hold should they do this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey Callison, spokesman for the state corrections department, said the department couldn’t comment because it no longer has access to inmate medical files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All medical care for inmates, and all medical files, past and present, are under the control of the Receiver’s Office,” Callison wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The receiver has overseen medical care in all 33 of the state’s prisons since 2006, when U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson of the Northern District of California ruled that the system’s health care was so poor that it violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The receiver’s office was aware that sterilizations were happening, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September 2008, the prisoner rights group Justice Now received a written response to questions about the treatment of pregnant inmates from Tim Rougeux, then the receiver’s chief operating officer. \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724322-receiver-response-to-justice-now-on-tubal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The letter \u003c/a>acknowledged that the two prisons offered sterilization surgery to women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But nothing changed until 2010, after the Oakland-based organization filed a public records request and complained to the office of state Sen. Carol Liu, D-Glendale. Liu was the chairwoman of the Select Committee on Women and Children in the Criminal Justice System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prompted by a phone call from Liu’s staff, Barnett said the receiver’s top medical officer asked her to research the matter. After analyzing medical and cost records, Barnett met in 2010 with officials at both women’s prisons and contract health professionals affiliated with nearby hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During those meetings, Barnett told them to halt inmate sterilizations. In response, she said, she got an earful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 16-year-old restriction on tubal ligations seemed to be news to prison health administrators, doctors, nurses and the contracting physicians, Barnett recalled. And, she said, none of the doctors thought they needed permission to perform the surgery on inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody was operating on the fact that this was a perfectly reasonable thing to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Risk factors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin, the Valley State Prison medical manager, said she and her staff had discovered the procedure was restricted five years earlier. Someone had complained about the sterilization of an inmate who had at least six children, Martin recalled. That prompted Martin to research the prison’s medical rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After learning of the restrictions, Martin told CIR that she and Heinrich began to look for ways around them. Both believed the rules were unfair to women, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sure that on a couple of occasions, (Heinrich) brought an issue to me saying, ‘Mary Smith is having a medical emergency’ kind of thing, and we ought to have a tubal ligation. She’s got six kids. Can we do it?’ ” Martin said. “And I said, ‘Well, if you document it as a medical emergency, perhaps.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heinrich said he offered tubal ligations only to pregnant inmates with a history of at least three C-sections. Additional pregnancies would be dangerous for these women, Heinrich said, because scar tissue inside the uterus could tear, resulting in massive blood loss and possible death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a medical problem that we had to make them aware of,” Heinrich said. “It’s up to the doctor who’s delivering (your baby) … to make you aware of what’s going on. We’re at risk for not telling them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former inmates tell a different story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michelle Anderson, who gave birth in December 2006 while at Valley State, said she’d had one prior C-section. Anderson, 44, repeatedly was asked to agree to be sterilized, she said, and was not told what risk factors led to the requests. She refused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nikki Montano also had had one C-section before she landed at Valley State in 2008, pregnant and battling drug addiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Montano, 42, was serving time after pleading guilty to burglary, forgery and receiving stolen property. The mother of seven children, she said neither Heinrich nor the medical staff told her why she needed a tubal ligation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I figured that’s just what happens in prison – that that’s the best kind of doctor you’re going to get,” Montano said. “He never told me nothing about nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Montano eagerly agreed to the surgery and said she still considers it a positive in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Carolyn Sufrin, an OB-GYN at San Francisco General Hospital who teaches at UC San Francisco, said it is not common practice to offer tubal ligations to women who’ve had one C-section. She confirmed that having multiple C-sections increases the risk of complications, but even then, she said, it’s more appropriate to offer women reversible means of birth control, like intrauterine devices or implants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every C-section, every situation is different,” Sufrin said. “Some people with more prior C-sections have absolutely no problems and no risks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>History in eugenics\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, tubal ligations represented a small portion of the medical care provided to pregnant inmates. Statistics and a report from the prison receiver’s office show that from 2000 to 2010, 2,423 women gave birth while imprisoned in California, costing the state $2.7 million. Fewer than one in 10 were surgically sterilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the numbers don’t tell the full story. California still grapples with an ugly past: Under compulsory sterilization laws here and in 31 other states, minority groups, the poor, the disabled, the mentally ill and criminals were singled out as inferior and sterilized to prevent them from spreading their genes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was known as eugenics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1909 and 1964, about 20,000 women and men in California were stripped of the ability to reproduce – making the state the nation’s most prolific sterilizer. Historians say Nazi Germany sought the advice of the state’s eugenics leaders in the 1930s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, the state Senate held two hearings to expose this history, featuring testimony from researchers, academics and state officials. In response, then-Attorney General Bill Lockyer and Gov. Gray Davis issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724326-eugenic-apologies-from-gov-gray-davis-and-ag.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">formal apologies.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our hearts are heavy for the pain caused by eugenics. It was a sad and regrettable chapter in the state’s history, and it is one that must never be repeated again,” Davis said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Missing from the hearings was the perspective of state prison officials. Then-Corrections Director Edward Alameida Jr. had informed the Senate committee that the prison system lacked records about sterilizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While obviously this was a dark chapter in our State’s history, the CDC (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation) played a minuscule role,” Alameida wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724327-state-corrections-director-snubs-eugenics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 2003 letter\u003c/a>. “Thus our participation in your hearing would provide no substantial information on that role and I do not believe our presence would contribute in any way toward your objectives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Alexandra Minna Stern, a professor at the University of Michigan and leading expert on California sterilization, cited state prison activity among the lingering questions from that era. \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724329-dr-alexandra-minna-stern-testimony-on-ca.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stern testified\u003c/a> during the hearings that she found in private hands and university archives evidence of 600 sterilizations at San Quentin State Prison prior to 1941 that were not included in official numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California sterilizers, Stern told the committee, consistently viewed their work as humane and cost saving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the goals … and this is critical to understanding the history of eugenics in California – was to save money: how to limit welfare and relief,” Stern told them, according to a transcript of her presentation. “And sterilization is very much tied up in this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seeking patient consent\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawsuits, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and public outrage over eugenics and similar sterilization abuses in Alabama and New York spawned new requirements in the 1970s for doctors to fully inform patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, it’s been illegal to pressure anyone to be sterilized or ask for consent during labor or childbirth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, Kimberly Jeffrey says she was pressured by a doctor while sedated and strapped to a surgical table for a C-section in 2010, during a stint at Valley State for a parole violation. Jeffrey, 43, was horrified, she said, and resisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He said, ‘So we’re going to be doing this tubal ligation, right?’ ” Jeffrey said. “I’m like, ‘Tubal ligation? What are you talking about? I don’t want any procedure. I just want to have my baby.’ I went into a straight panic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey provided copies of her official prison and hospital medical files to CIR.

State lawmakers officially banned such practices in 1979.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During an interview with CIR, Heinrich said he provided an important service to poor women who faced health risks in future pregnancies because of past cesarean sections. The 69-year-old Bay Area physician denied pressuring anyone and expressed surprise that local contract doctors had charged for the surgeries. He described the $147,460 total as minimal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Over a 10-year period, that isn’t a huge amount of money,” Heinrich said, “compared to what you save in welfare paying for these unwanted children – as they procreated more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The top medical manager at Valley State Prison from 2005 to 2008 characterized the surgeries as an empowerment issue for female inmates, providing them the same options as women on the outside. Daun Martin, a licensed psychologist, also claimed that some pregnant women, particularly those on drugs or who were homeless, would commit crimes so they could return to prison for better health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Do I criticize those women for manipulating the system because they’re pregnant? Absolutely not,” Martin, 73, said. “But I don’t think it should happen. And I’d like to find ways to decrease that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Former inmates and prisoner advocates say prison medical staff coerced women into getting sterilized, targeting those deemed likely to return to prison in the future.\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Martin denied approving the surgeries, but at least 60 tubal ligations were done at Valley State while Martin was in charge, according to the state contracts database.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin’s counterpart at the California Institution for Women, Dr. Jacqueline Long, declined to discuss why inmates received unauthorized tubal ligations under her watch. But the Corona prison’s former compliance officer, William Kelsey, said there was disagreement among staff members over the procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During one meeting in late 2005, a few correctional officers differed with Long’s medical team over adding tubal ligations to a local hospital’s contract, Kelsey, 57, said. The officers viewed the surgeries as nonessential medical care and questioned whether the state should pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They were just fed up,” Kelsey said. “They didn’t think criminals and inmates had a right to the care we were providing them, and they let their personal opinions be heard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The service was included, however, and Kelsey said the grumbling subsided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal and state \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724320-federal-and-state-law-on-sterilization-using.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">laws\u003c/a> ban inmate sterilizations if federal funds are used, reflecting concerns that prisoners might feel pressured to comply. California used state funds instead, but since 1994 the procedure has \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724499-cdcr-excluded-medical-services-amp-other.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">required approval\u003c/a> from top medical officials in Sacramento on a case-by-case basis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet no tubal ligation requests have come before the health care committee responsible for approving such restricted surgeries, said Dr. Ricki Barnett, who tracks medical services and costs for the California Prison Health Care Receivership Corp. Barnett, 65, has led the Health Care Review Committee since joining the prison receiver’s office in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we heard about the tubal ligations, it made us all feel slightly queasy,” Barnett said. “It wasn’t so much that people were conspiratorial or coercive or sloppy. It concerns me that people never took a step back to project what they would feel if they were in the inmate’s shoes and what the inmate’s future might hold should they do this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey Callison, spokesman for the state corrections department, said the department couldn’t comment because it no longer has access to inmate medical files.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All medical care for inmates, and all medical files, past and present, are under the control of the Receiver’s Office,” Callison wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The receiver has overseen medical care in all 33 of the state’s prisons since 2006, when U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson of the Northern District of California ruled that the system’s health care was so poor that it violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The receiver’s office was aware that sterilizations were happening, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In September 2008, the prisoner rights group Justice Now received a written response to questions about the treatment of pregnant inmates from Tim Rougeux, then the receiver’s chief operating officer. \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724322-receiver-response-to-justice-now-on-tubal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The letter \u003c/a>acknowledged that the two prisons offered sterilization surgery to women.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But nothing changed until 2010, after the Oakland-based organization filed a public records request and complained to the office of state Sen. Carol Liu, D-Glendale. Liu was the chairwoman of the Select Committee on Women and Children in the Criminal Justice System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prompted by a phone call from Liu’s staff, Barnett said the receiver’s top medical officer asked her to research the matter. After analyzing medical and cost records, Barnett met in 2010 with officials at both women’s prisons and contract health professionals affiliated with nearby hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During those meetings, Barnett told them to halt inmate sterilizations. In response, she said, she got an earful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 16-year-old restriction on tubal ligations seemed to be news to prison health administrators, doctors, nurses and the contracting physicians, Barnett recalled. And, she said, none of the doctors thought they needed permission to perform the surgery on inmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody was operating on the fact that this was a perfectly reasonable thing to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Risk factors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin, the Valley State Prison medical manager, said she and her staff had discovered the procedure was restricted five years earlier. Someone had complained about the sterilization of an inmate who had at least six children, Martin recalled. That prompted Martin to research the prison’s medical rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After learning of the restrictions, Martin told CIR that she and Heinrich began to look for ways around them. Both believed the rules were unfair to women, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m sure that on a couple of occasions, (Heinrich) brought an issue to me saying, ‘Mary Smith is having a medical emergency’ kind of thing, and we ought to have a tubal ligation. She’s got six kids. Can we do it?’ ” Martin said. “And I said, ‘Well, if you document it as a medical emergency, perhaps.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heinrich said he offered tubal ligations only to pregnant inmates with a history of at least three C-sections. Additional pregnancies would be dangerous for these women, Heinrich said, because scar tissue inside the uterus could tear, resulting in massive blood loss and possible death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a medical problem that we had to make them aware of,” Heinrich said. “It’s up to the doctor who’s delivering (your baby) … to make you aware of what’s going on. We’re at risk for not telling them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former inmates tell a different story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michelle Anderson, who gave birth in December 2006 while at Valley State, said she’d had one prior C-section. Anderson, 44, repeatedly was asked to agree to be sterilized, she said, and was not told what risk factors led to the requests. She refused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nikki Montano also had had one C-section before she landed at Valley State in 2008, pregnant and battling drug addiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Montano, 42, was serving time after pleading guilty to burglary, forgery and receiving stolen property. The mother of seven children, she said neither Heinrich nor the medical staff told her why she needed a tubal ligation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I figured that’s just what happens in prison – that that’s the best kind of doctor you’re going to get,” Montano said. “He never told me nothing about nothing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Montano eagerly agreed to the surgery and said she still considers it a positive in her life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Carolyn Sufrin, an OB-GYN at San Francisco General Hospital who teaches at UC San Francisco, said it is not common practice to offer tubal ligations to women who’ve had one C-section. She confirmed that having multiple C-sections increases the risk of complications, but even then, she said, it’s more appropriate to offer women reversible means of birth control, like intrauterine devices or implants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every C-section, every situation is different,” Sufrin said. “Some people with more prior C-sections have absolutely no problems and no risks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>History in eugenics\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, tubal ligations represented a small portion of the medical care provided to pregnant inmates. Statistics and a report from the prison receiver’s office show that from 2000 to 2010, 2,423 women gave birth while imprisoned in California, costing the state $2.7 million. Fewer than one in 10 were surgically sterilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the numbers don’t tell the full story. California still grapples with an ugly past: Under compulsory sterilization laws here and in 31 other states, minority groups, the poor, the disabled, the mentally ill and criminals were singled out as inferior and sterilized to prevent them from spreading their genes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was known as eugenics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 1909 and 1964, about 20,000 women and men in California were stripped of the ability to reproduce – making the state the nation’s most prolific sterilizer. Historians say Nazi Germany sought the advice of the state’s eugenics leaders in the 1930s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, the state Senate held two hearings to expose this history, featuring testimony from researchers, academics and state officials. In response, then-Attorney General Bill Lockyer and Gov. Gray Davis issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724326-eugenic-apologies-from-gov-gray-davis-and-ag.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">formal apologies.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our hearts are heavy for the pain caused by eugenics. It was a sad and regrettable chapter in the state’s history, and it is one that must never be repeated again,” Davis said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Missing from the hearings was the perspective of state prison officials. Then-Corrections Director Edward Alameida Jr. had informed the Senate committee that the prison system lacked records about sterilizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While obviously this was a dark chapter in our State’s history, the CDC (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation) played a minuscule role,” Alameida wrote in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724327-state-corrections-director-snubs-eugenics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">June 2003 letter\u003c/a>. “Thus our participation in your hearing would provide no substantial information on that role and I do not believe our presence would contribute in any way toward your objectives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Alexandra Minna Stern, a professor at the University of Michigan and leading expert on California sterilization, cited state prison activity among the lingering questions from that era. \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724329-dr-alexandra-minna-stern-testimony-on-ca.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stern testified\u003c/a> during the hearings that she found in private hands and university archives evidence of 600 sterilizations at San Quentin State Prison prior to 1941 that were not included in official numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California sterilizers, Stern told the committee, consistently viewed their work as humane and cost saving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the goals … and this is critical to understanding the history of eugenics in California – was to save money: how to limit welfare and relief,” Stern told them, according to a transcript of her presentation. “And sterilization is very much tied up in this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Seeking patient consent\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawsuits, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling and public outrage over eugenics and similar sterilization abuses in Alabama and New York spawned new requirements in the 1970s for doctors to fully inform patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, it’s been illegal to pressure anyone to be sterilized or ask for consent during labor or childbirth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, Kimberly Jeffrey says she was pressured by a doctor while sedated and strapped to a surgical table for a C-section in 2010, during a stint at Valley State for a parole violation. Jeffrey, 43, was horrified, she said, and resisted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He said, ‘So we’re going to be doing this tubal ligation, right?’ ” Jeffrey said. “I’m like, ‘Tubal ligation? What are you talking about? I don’t want any procedure. I just want to have my baby.’ I went into a straight panic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeffrey provided copies of her official prison and hospital medical files to CIR. Those records show Jeffrey rejected a tubal ligation offer during a December 2009 prenatal checkup at Heinrich’s office. \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/724494-kimberly-jeffrey-declines-tubal-ligation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A medical report\u003c/a> from Jeffrey’s C-section a month later noted that she again refused a tubal ligation request made after she arrived at Madera Community Hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At no time did anyone explain to her any medical justifications for tubal ligation, Jeffrey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That experience still haunts Jeffrey, who lives in San Francisco with her 3-year-old son, Noel. She speaks to groups seeking to improve conditions for female prisoners and has lobbied legislators in Sacramento. Jeffrey recently completed her ACT college-entrance test and hopes to pursue a degree at San Francisco State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being treated like I was less than human produced in me a despair,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State prison officials “are the real repeat offenders,” Jeffrey added. “They repeatedly offended me by denying me my right to dignity and humanity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dorothy Roberts, a University of Pennsylvania law professor and expert on sterilization, said courts have concluded that soliciting approval for sterilization during labor is coercive because pain and discomfort can impair a woman’s ability to weigh the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If this was happening in a federal prison, it would be illegal,” Roberts said. “There are specific situations where you cannot say it’s informed consent, and one of them is during childbirth or labor. No woman should give consent on the operating table.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heinrich considers the questions raised about his medical care unfair and said he is suspicious about the women’s motives. Heinrich insists he worked hard to give inmates high-quality medical treatment, adding that hundreds of appreciative prisoners could vouch for that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They all wanted it done,” he said of the sterilizations. “If they come a year or two later saying, ‘Somebody forced me to have this done,’ that’s a lie. That’s somebody looking for the state to give them a handout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My guess is that the only reason you do that is not because you feel wronged, but that you want to stay on the state’s dole somehow.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Barnett declined to say whether Heinrich’s practices had been reviewed by the receiver’s office, citing employee confidentially laws.
