Cuando las personas que dependen de medicamentos psiquiátricos ingresan en una cárcel del condado de San Diego, se les prohíbe llevar consigo sus recetas, lo que les obliga a descompensarse mientras pasan días o semanas sin tratamiento. Cuando una persona en prisión expresa su deseo de autolesionarse, se le desnuda, se le coloca en una celda de seguridad y se le obliga a defecar y orinar en una rejilla metálica.

A sergeant already suing the San Diego Police Department on retaliation and discrimination claims is now fighting a termination notice, saying he is being singled out improperly and that officials did not follow the rules in trying to fire him. Sgt. Arthur Scott, who is Black and has served the department for more than two decades, claims he is being retaliated against after testifying on behalf of another officer who claimed she was sexually harassed.

When people who rely on psychiatric medication are booked into a San Diego County jail, they are forbidden to bring their prescriptions with them, leaving them to decompensate as they go days or weeks without treatment. When a person in jail expresses a desire to self-harm, they are stripped naked, put in a safety cell and forced to defecate and urinate into a metal grate. The conditions in these cells are so harsh that people lie about being suicidal to avoid them.

Former El Cajon City Councilmember Bessmon "Ben" Kalasho and his wife were back in San Diego Superior Court this week trying to convince a judge to delay a pair of 8-day jail terms they received in a civil case last year. It didn't work. The husband-and-wife defendants, who last month represented themselves in an unrelated code-enforcement lawsuit filed by the city of El Cajon, are required to turn themselves in to San Diego Superior Court on June 9 to begin serving their sentences.
