A Justice Department report rips the Oklahoma County jail as a chaotic and largely unsupervised den of "unconscionableā€ violence, abuse and medical neglect.

Detailed in the federal report are jail deaths, excessive use of force and a "disturbingā€ incident in which a pregnant woman was handcuffed to a rail for 10 hours while giving birth to a premature baby.
The child died at a metro-area hospital.

However, the seriousness of the report led the U.S. Marshals and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to transfer 160 federal inmates from the Oklahoma County jail over the weekend to jails in Tulsa and Grady counties until the issues are officially resolved.

The report details excessive inmate-on-inmate violence and use of force by jail staff, an unsanitary kitchen with birds and insects, lack of clothing and showers, several fire hazards and virtually no mental health treatment. There is also an inadequate investigatory process to review deaths and other serious incidents, according to the report.
The U.S. Attorney General could file a lawsuit against Oklahoma County if conditions do not improve, according to the report.
