A federal judge has directed the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, lawyers for people held in the jails and jail monitors to come up with a plan to address excessive use of force by deputies in the jails, and to hold those responsible accountable.
that criticized jail deputies’ use of force, calling out examples such as “head shots” — deputies punching inmates in the head — along with a lack of accountability and communication.
The report cited concerns about ongoing violence from jail staff, noting that “the use of ‘head shots’ where prohibited by policy, has been relatively unchanged in the last two years or more, and may be increasing. No issue has been discussed more with management over the last six years and especially in the last two years, to little avail.”The offending deputies are “counseled” or sent to remedial training, but “actual discipline is seldom imposed,” according to the report.
According to the report, this led to a “shakedown” of incarcerated people in at least two tiers of the jail: They were taken from their cells in the morning, strip searched, then walked “naked en masse through the jail and down to the room with the x-ray machine, passing large numbers of male and female staff members, some of whom, according to the inmates we interviewed, mocked them or made other humiliating comments.
