Lisa Brown takes full responsibility for why she ended up briefly behind bars. But now she says a 20-day jail sentence has left her with a life sentence of partial paralysis and disability.

‘They were moving me all around and I had a broken neck.’

Imagine falling and breaking your neck, but no one takes you to the hospital right away.

That’s exactly what a local woman says happened to her inside the St. Clair County Jail and now she’s trying to make sure something like this doesn’t happen to anyone else.

    I had sciatica pain and the best way to avoid it was to just not move my legs. Otherwise it was like normal normal…oh you’re dying from the pain, then back to normal. So I’m guessing that’s how it feels on the neck with a nerve injury that produces pain.

      She had a broken fucking neck. It’s not up for debate. Just stop.
