“Every time they came, I kept asking for help, but they didn’t want to help,” Warpaint said of jail staff’s routine monitoring of inmates, which usually happens every 15 minutes. After White Owl returned to jail, she continued to plead with staff to be returned to the hospital. Warpaint stayed up all night with her mother. Upon returning to jail, staff placed both White Owl and Warpaint together in a different jail pod than they were in before. It is unknown why White Owl was discharged. Warpaint said it wasn’t until midnight on Sunday, June 11, that her mother was taken out of the jail cell to the Red Lake Hospital, where she was discharged and returned nearly two hours later, at approximately 2:00 a.m. “I was asking for help all day and night,” Warpaint told Native News Online.
