The ACLU has released a report that for the first time cites chaplains and other civilian witnesses to deputy-on-inmate brutality in Los Angeles County Jails. Sign the petition to recall Sheriff Lee Baca here: bit.ly/onmulM
I've been to LA County Jail I've seen the abuse first hand.. Basically you even so much as look up at prison staff wrong or give attitude your likely to get your head smashed into a wall or plexiglass window
I know this vid is a bit stale but I saw more than one occasion similar to what the chaplain is describing (and worse). I was arrested and had a gun planted on me 2 weeks after I got home from Afghanistan. I didn't think racism like what I saw every day even EXISTED in this country. If I were any race other than white, I don't think I'd have lived through an LASD jail. If you guys ever need somebody to talk about some of the things that went on in there, I'm there. I'll even do it in full uniform (I'm retired). I'm so glad they finally indicted Baca...they should make him serve his full sentence in CJ or Twin Towers - a hell of his own making.
It only stops if citizens take every legal action available to them to combat it. Or, ignore it and hope it fixes itself, and pray that it never happens to you.
what the fuck? so every inmate hurt a "victim" so everyone is in jail for hurting people? wow, I didn't know that. I could've sworn that I have family who went to prison for non violent crimes...I guess they lied to me
I was one of them, they almost kill me, same as this guy was sayng. They just stop kicking me ando beat me up couse they thought l was dead already. (Feb. 2015 LA County Jail )
@LucaviAD There is no such thing as "reverse discrimination". There is only discrimination. This has nothing to do with Sharpton or Jackson. Take your racist rhetoric elsewhere.
really? even if you're framed? Because I know people who were falsely accused, went through this hell, and eventually released due to evidence. you're not very bright
