Pamela White’s article “Pregnant in Prison” moved me to tears (cover story, Feb. 18). Having a wrist or ankle of a woman in labor shackled is shocking and inhumane. Only people who have never given birth would think such a thing is OK...

(Re: “Slaves to Sex,” Cover story, Feb. 11.) Sex addiction provides an increasingly popular explanation as to why men buy women and girls for sex. Many professional therapists and their clients support this theory, perhaps in part because the therapists directly ...

(Re: “Slaves to sex,” cover story, Feb. 11.) Ms. Creel’s article reflects the economic downslide’s effect on psychiatric worker income. Most common folk can no longer afford the extravagance of paying big bucks to heal the stubbed big toes of their inner children, so...
