The Sherrif's Officers affiliated with gangs within their department may have and most probably have been coerced into their roles by the gangs within the jail itself.

The number of prisoners far exceeds the ability of the officers to adequately patrol the facility.  Additionally, they may even live in 'resident areas' of large gang groups.  There is a better than good chance the 'in house' gangs are affiliated with 'the prisoned gangs' and may have been coerced into doing just that.  I have no proof, but, suspicion based on the fact the gangs in LA are long standing and very established with long records of success.  They are 'organized crime' than gangs in my opinion and the employees to the LA Jail may be an extension of that dynamic.  No proof. Only strong suspicions.

...“Waistband shootings” (click here) are particularly controversial because the justification for the shootings can conceivably be fabricated after the fact, according to the county monitor’s report. The monitor was careful to point out that the report wasn’t making the case deputies were being dishonest, simply that the spike in those shootings left the department vulnerable to criticism.

Merrick Bobb, special counsel to the county Board of Supervisors, also found a rise in shootings in which deputies didn’t see an actual gun before firing. In those cases, the person may have had a weapon on them, but never brandished it.

Those shootings spiked by 50% last year, according to the report. Last year also had the highest proportion of people shot by deputies who turned out to be unarmed altogether....

It is corruption.  Huge corruption.  But, to turn over every officer in the jail will destabilize the 'innner workings' of the organized crime thus causing potential riots.  I DO BELIEVE, this is a hornet's nest and a very big worry.


Beatings by officers?


Assassinations by officers?  


Unarmed prisoners?  


AND there are no prison riots?  HUH?

ACLU details deputy brutality in Los Angeles County jails (click title to entry - thank you)

Report marks first time civilian witnesses come forward about beatings of inmates

LOS ANGELES— The ACLU released a report on Wednesday detailing numerous accounts of deputy brutality directed at Los Angeles County jail inmates.

The report marks the first time civilian witnesses of jail violence came forward to the ACLU with accounts of deputy violence against non-resisting inmates,

NBC station KNBC reported.

"The overwhelming majority of the complaints of deputy brutality came from the 

Men’s Central Jail,” said Margaret Winter, the Associate Director of the 

ACLU’s National Prison Project. "There still was a significant number from Twins Towers of 

also very serious incidents."

As a result of the report, the civil rights organization’s Southern California branch on 

Wednesday called for the resignation of Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca.

They also filed a report for a full criminal and civil rights investigation by 

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to address the accusations of assaults and excessive force

 that have occurred within the jails….

I do believe US Attorney General Eric Holder has to ask higher level law enforcement agencies 

to become involved and if necessary begin to staff the facility with Swat Teams for up profile

law enforcement seeking nothing but orderly conduct.  The fear that probably exists among the 

prison population needs to be defused in order to retake the facility.  While there have been no 

violent prison riots, the take over of the facility occurred regardless.  The 'idea' is to bring 'security' 

to the prison population while oppressing the violence those 'in control' will attempt to manifest

when they know their 'prison hierarchy infrastructure' is now disrupted.

Good luck.
