In California, a maximum security prison outside of Los Angeles remains in lockdown after a prisoner died on Saturday during a prison-wide fight. Officials say more than 100 prisoners were injured. At least 20 prisoners were hospitalized. The Los Angeles Times reported a long line of ambulances and paramedic units lined up outside the jail, and rows of tarps were laid out for the injured. The American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California has long warned about the conditions of the jail. The ACLU’s Jody Kent said “There isn’t enough opportunity for the inmates to do productive things, and that allows for the tensions to rise. As a result of that, fights will often break out.” Sheriff Lee Baca blamed the violence in part on overcrowding and understaffing due to budget cuts. He said in some instances prisoners outnumber deputies 100 to one. In an ideal situation the sheriff said the ratio would be six to one. On a typical Saturday night 77 deputies are on duty to watch 4,000 prisoners. Baca said “The more you crowd a facility, the more difficult it is to prevent violence.” The fighting reportedly broke out between African-American and Latino prisoners.
