This story about a woman giving birth in a cell at a Texas facility is pretty disturbing: https://dfw.cbslocal.com/2012/07/10/premature-baby-born-at-d...

The guards just ignored her. The baby died. The story mentions other incidents in the same facility. There are several world class hospitals just down the street.

It did get shut down, but likely solely due to this incident involving a child. The prior incidents were well known, but didn't kill anyone other than prisoners.

Also, this happened to be a privatized facility. I do think that's a big problem.

On the other hand, there are plenty of state employee run facilities with similar issues. The conditions vary wildly by both state and specific facility.
