Ashley Smith restrained by correctional officers and nurses at Joliette Institution

assholes

Wtf????????????????? Why???

No wonder dirty Frenchies us ojibways and Sioux indian hate French

Use hole unit for her LMAO.

I was jail and taken off all my psych meds and put in a cell 23 1/2 hours a day while detoxing from opiods as well. They put me in the chair for 5 hours, pepper sprayed & tazed me as there way of dealing with me. No one cared. I didnt see a psychiatrist for 28 days after being bought in. I feel so bad for this girl. She died in there care because the justice system dosent know how to properly deal with mentally ill people.

FuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuCK!!!

Koo.

Dafuq

My sister heard her say it and she thought I was watching a girl get raped

Y’all know nothing. She said she had to change her tampon because she wanted to punch someone or cause harm. She said it for attention. You can tell by the voice she says it in.

Poor girl 😰

“If you sleep I can go home” what a jerk

She died in 2007 because she strangled herself in that prison

She only lasted 15 seconds without doing the tampon stuff

Abuse

People in sic wards prison should be given birth control so they cant have periods its vile to deal with and its so humiliating fior the person

Ashley don't belong in that place

Show this to your kids when they aren’t behaving. This is the end of the line for people who refuse to behave. And yes, you will end up dead at the hands of the state.

Not to trivialize this by any means, but this is typical psychiatric abuse. I have witnessed this myself in person when a patient complained about chest pains and asked for medical attention and was refused. Naturally he got upset and began arguing with the psych in charge. Not hitting her. Not threatening. Not fighting. Just arguing or rather continuing to plead his case, so to speak, or to have the psych lose her patience and order the rather large and intimidating security guards to grab him, strap him down in a stretcher type bed, and forcefully inject him with some substance. All because he was begging, literally with tears in his eyes, for medical attention for his chest pains. The man was 54 years old at the time. Does any of this sound therapeutic to you, the reader? Or does it sound more traumatic and abusive than anything? I was there, and I can tell you that merely observing this filled me with a sense of dread. Any "hospital" where such things take place is NOT a safe, therapeutic environment conducive to healing or any kind of helpful therapy. This is just common sense. I realized that many people have found help within psychiatry, and I cheer for their gains, but that is no excuse to turn a blind eye to some very real problems within the "mental health" system as a whole.

I been in restraints at the psych ward several times unfortunately but damn at least they weren't prison restraints! I imagine in the hospital a nurse would remove your tampon and put one of those pee pads beneath your butt this is way scarier the psych ward its usually like four maybe 5 people its quick but why do they keep crowding her? she's strapped down! where she going to go? ridiculous! you have my sympathy for sure from personal experience. Restraints suck!

Shes dead now... She killed herself while the officers basically watched

If she would mind, they won't restrain her

Hospitals are meant to heal not harm. Psychiatric survivors need to stand up to systemic discrimination and fight for human rights. I was also abused in Ontario with forced injections 5 years after her. It's sickening that it still happens legally. My experience has inspired me to become a mental health care worker. But I want provide humane treatment for psychotic patients & prisoners with the hope of changing Canada's laws that promote systemic abelism/mentalism. For some reason the law states that if you are psychotic, you lose the human right of determining what goes in your body. Consent is no longer necessary just like when someone is unconscious and can't physically give consent. Any injection for medication or sedation purposes can legally be administered despite any protest otherwise. It's a form of punishment rather than self defense as shown here. I was never a threat. They injected me for non-compliance and "bad behavior" which is usually reasonable protest. She is tied up and no threat but because of "bad behavior" she gets the injection treatment. This is essentially biological rape (having a drug that you don't want in your body forced in painfully) and then going in and out of consciousness. It is a factor that drives one to suicide. I propose we use tasers since they don't violate one's bodily rights and only use the taser when the person is a threat to themselves or others (not as a form of punishment). Patients and prisoners deserve to be treated the same way a good cop treats citizens on the streets (tased only when necessary). A threat to others would imply that the patient is trying to or has tried to use either lethal force or non-lethal force on someone else. But a threat to themselves would only imply when lethal forced is being used against one's self. Non-lethal self harm would not require a taser. Also using threatening language would be grounds to draw a taser but try to de-escalate before using it.

You fucken heard her tell the nurse yes

She think she look cool with that bandanna

another reason i wonder if they deserve my forearm in their face

ashley was right, "just because i have bad behavior doesn't mean i'm not allowed to have a tampon". this teenager was tortured.

I will never judge the Nazi's again

I don't know what this says about me, but I wonder why they wouldn't put people on birth control if they are going to treat her this way. If you aren't going to allow her to change her tampon- which is inhumane- then give her medicine that will stop it altogether.

Why do they speak to her in French?!!
Doesn’t look like she knows French 😳

Changing a tampon or at least takeing it out, is very very important guys. Just think about the fact, that you can get a blood infection, when you leave the tampon in for too long in your body.

Did the nurse have the fucking nerve to say you sleep I can go home that is fucked up to say

This is ridiculous that several people need to be used to restrain one kid. It takes away her dignity. Is this what they call therapy?

Why was she even restrained in the first place? And what the fuck are they laughing about? Are they not worried about her getting TSS?

she should not do that

this is not fair on ashley

thats bad

There is a god above and these people are going to suffer the consequences of doing evil and believing there will be no repercussions .

This makes me angry!! She needed mental help for someone her age and they don’t let her change her tampon which can cause infection if not changed and it’s leaking. Those people I heard were fired and of course it was too late bc she already killed herself a long time ago while imprisoned by them!!

I broke out of my restraints 3 times.

Yeah, I find this kind of video should be shown worldwide, so that others who might be taken to such services like this worldwide, should understand and know what is happening behind these places in the background. Yes, it is ABUSE, and sure this place wherever is is taken worldwide, this place could get FINED or even taken to court for mistreating this young lady with not getting the proper care she is needed. Who in any position in any place not want to change her TAMPON?? These people should be doing this for her, not making her SUFFER, AND KEEPING THE TAMPON IN HER??? Has anybody filed any complaints with the Institution or made any Police reports???

Matt

Inbred police

And she dead later on
Being assaulted and Hurt
Causes mental health get worse

Oh she's on her period and she needs to change her tampon and yeah theye don't let her tie her up and restrain her and inject her how dare theye
