Hot Take:

It’s alarming to see that Sacramento County’s jailing system continues to violate human rights, despite the U.S. District Court Judge’s order to address the unconstitutional conditions. Overcrowding, inadequate mental health care, and excessive use of force are just a few of the pressing issues that need immediate attention. The Justice2Jobs Coalition is right to call for investment in community-based alternatives to incarceration, as these could provide more effective and humane solutions. Law firms specializing in civil rights and personal injury cases should take note of this situation and be prepared to offer their services to those affected by these injustices.
