Matt Fleischer on Horrific Abuse at LA Men’s Central Jail

According to an investigative report by Matthew Fleischer, inmates at the LA Men’s Central Jail are subject to horrific abuses by, or under the watch of, the Sheriff’s deputies who work there. Known as the CJ, it is the largest jail in the county holding over 4300 men a day. Severe beatings and sexual humiliation are commonplace, say inmates and whistle blowers. Prisoners have been left in unsupervised situations where other inmates savagely beat and raped them. Deputies are also known to form clubs that witnesses say function more like gangs. Members intimidate their fellow officers, abuse inmates, sport matching tattoos, and adhere to a strict code of silence. Reforms, Fleischer reports, are slow in coming due to push-back within the ranks and disinterest among top administrators.

Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar spoke with Matt Fleischer on September 21, 2011.

    I absolutely love your show Sonali. Thank you for years of enlightening programs. This story/interview was particularly exceptional. Great work Mr Fleischer. One thing to fix though – above you linked to witnessla.ORG but it should be .COM (the .org is some sort of Christian blog). Anyway, tonight’s news about the murder of Troy Davis is devastating. I look forward to tomorrow’s show. Keep on Uprising Sonali!
