FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - A woman being held as an illegal immigrant spent four days forgotten in an isolated holding cell at a courthouse with no food, water, or toilet, authorities and the woman said.

Adriana Torres-Flores, 38, appeared in court Thursday and pleaded not guilty to a charge of selling pirated CDs, but a judge ordered her held because she is in the country illegally, Sheriff Tim Helder said.

Bailiff Jarrod Hankins put her in the cell to await transport to jail, and she was forgotten. Because of heavy snow, few staff members were in the courthouse to hear her cries and pounding later Thursday or on Friday and through the weekend.

Torres-Flores wasn't found until Monday morning when Hankins opened the door. She was treated at a hospital and allowed to go home.

SUE THOSE BASTARDS!

on leave while it's being investigated.

Just damn

I'm ashamed.

Fell asleep on a couch in a waiting room and when I awoke everyone had gone.

I was going to call the cops when I found the painkiller samples.

Percodan, vicodin, the works.

So I just waited for Monday.

:grr:

of a warm piece of toast, or less.

to warm pieces of toast.

Beatings, deaths, and now isolation and starvation. Torture is alive and well in America, too.

THEY WILL PICK HER UP AGAIN.... they just didn't want to have to pay her medical shit

I was pulled out of the classroom after a check for headlice when a nurse simply said of me "She has them. All the Mexicans do." I was neither Mexican nor did I have lice, but i spent a long afternoon and evening in the school waiting patiently for someone to "find" me.

Were you petrified? How did it end?
