Re: Big Scandal In L.A. County Jail Case
(Sounds similar to the PBSP in the 1990s)
Today is Saturday. It's around 1:30 PM and I'm sitting in my cell waiting for them to start running the showers. We shower three times a week. It's the only time we can also shave, so it's kind of a big clean up. Better an important one.
Okay, so I went to the yard for my hour and a half. I exercised and worked my shoulders on the pull-up bars. While I was exercising I thought of an article I read in the San Francisco Chronicle. It was about an abuse scandal in the L.A. County Jails. There is a big investigation and a civil rights complaint being filed down there.
Rights conditions... Sounds familiar. Yeah, it should.
This is something that, believe it or not, has always been a part of the justice system ever since I was put into confinement. There has been probably thousands of civil suits filed on that standards of abuse over the past 50 years.
The jail system is different from the prison system in one way: they are not doing prison sentences. They do not have the ability to ask for legal assistance from jailhouse lawyers. I am now a jailhouse lawyer myself. Though I prefer to be called a paralegal. In prison, any abuse would be challenged in some way. In prison, we try to help each other.
I look at the violations of the county jail and wonder why it took so long for anyone to bring it out in the open. It's not new. It's been going on for decades. This is considered a normal thing in may detention centers.
