I completely agree; was just sharing context because I felt the article kind of assumed you knew the prior reporting.

I'm not, in any way, saying she deserved what happened to her or anything like that.

It's pretty clear that the guards let that happen (the whole "no one checked in on the cell for 68 minutes" thing when everyone is supposed to be checked at least once an hour), and that's not okay.
