In no way was this standard operating procedure for childcare let alone prison time.
in the case of Nzinga King she was an adult (19 years old) arrested for violating the covid laws regarding masking in public transport. Her locks were cut by the female officer on duty at the lockup in Clarendon.

These certainly aren't the standard, and as I pointed out they are not legal - but they do happen from time to time due to rogue individuals working in institutions. The Jamaican government (especially the party currently in power) has a pretty crap history when it comes to treatment of Rastafarians (look no further than Bustamante, the so-called "national hero" who openly called for the genocide of rastafarians)
