Lawyers for the county admitted Wednesday that officials never fully complied with a court order to clean up Los Angeles jails – but a federal judge gave them two more months before deciding whether to find county officials in contempt of court.
Lawyers for Los Angeles County admitted Wednesday that officials had not complied with an injunction ordering them to clean up the jails, but a visibly annoyed federal judge agreed to wait two more months before deciding whether to find the sheriff and county supervisors in“You’re on full notice that what will be coming up in 60 days is a contempt hearing,” U.S. District Judge Dean D.
In recent years, much of the court’s attention has been on conditions in the Inmate Reception Center, where men who’ve just been arrested are sent for booking. Most of the inmates there have not yet been convicted of a crime, and the facility isn’t intended to hold people for extended periods. In February, the ACLU asked the court to hold the county in contempt, alleging that officials had failed to make those improvements and had simply begun tethering people to gurneys instead of benches.
For the last few months, much of the legal action in the Justice Department case has focused on a disagreement about how long the county needs to comply with certain provisions of a settlement agreement it promised to comply with years ago.
