I hope none of the Correctional Deputies were injured during this altercation. Smells like gang fight to me.
Assault and battery is not an appropriate charge. It should be mutual combat and charges related to conduct while incarcerated.
Send them to Yuma Az
Give them to Putin and he will send them to Black Dolphin prison there they can eat each other and go to bed with a full stomach.
This is the first of many fights to come inside or over crowded jail the jail ad on can’t get here soon enough and the way crime is around here it won’t be big enough
The add on is only going to be utilized for treating adult mental health issues. Not for housing. FYI.
Out Patient care? af
No way! That is awesome! So needed in this county. I hope it leads to helping people get better instead of just incarceration and then release. I’m sure it will!
Put them to work guarding our border in So. Cal/
Why is the county not putting a parking garage on the ground floor of that jail annex? Oh yeah, cause they are too stupid to govern. Now I remember
Put them on a one-way plane to Syria, and let them fight ISIS!!! Bring our soldiers home!!!! Scum fighting Scum!!! If they make it out alive they might be allowed back into the states
Good lord give me some mercy. Kym, the comments are certainly not improved by having them be non-anonymous! The ignorance here holds a league of its own!
