A prison guard says she was forced to stay at her post during labor pains. Texas is fighting compensation for her stillbirth.

Seven months pregnant, Issa said she quickly alerted her supervisors. She told them she needed to go to the hospital but knew prison policy wouldn’t allow her to leave her post until someone could replace her.
