Question: The scenario is based on the case of Shawanna Nelson, a 29-year-old, nonviolent offender who claimed that being shackled during labor was "cruel and unusual punishment."

The American Civil Liberties Union called the court's ruling "historic." What impact is this decision likely to have on prison healthcare for women?
