OC Deputy Faces Jail for Pizza Topping

A deputy with the Orange County Sheriff's Department has found himself in hot water after pepper spraying a teenager's pizza.

Pepper spray is bad enough when it gets in a person's eyes, and it apparently wreaks havoc on your insides when ingested.  A total of five people became sick as a result of the deputy's decision.

Authorities said the incident supposedly took place in the fall of 2012.  It was at that time that six-year OCSD veteran Juan Tavera pulled over an unnamed teenager during a routine traffic stop.

At some point in time, for reasons yet to be determined, Tavera decided …

Seal Beach Jail Now Offering Luxury Suites

It's hard to imagine, but it's true.

The Seal Beach Jail has recently upgraded a handful of cells. They are now outfitted with new beds, flat-screen televisions and other luxuries that inmates aren't usually afforded.

If you're interested in booking a stay at the detention center, it comes with a catch.  The first being that you need to have been sentenced to serve some time.  The second relates to cost-  because those who prefer to be housed in one of the luxury suites will need to pay for the privilege.

Jail officials say they will charge pre-selected inmates between $100 and $120 …

Woman Meets Santa Ana Police Department Officer Who Saved Her Life

A Santa Ana Police Department officer has finally been given the opportunity to meet a woman whose life he saved many years ago.

Angela Clune woke up in her bedroom approximately four decades ago and discovered she was surrounded by smoke and flames.  The then-child was terrified and opened her mouth to scream.  That is when a police officer scooped up and carried her to safety.

That man brought her to a nearby window and passed her off to another policeman that was standing on the other side.

Clune said she (more…)

The incident began on June 22 after an inmate attacked an OC Sheriff's Department deputy.  The deputy had been moving that inmate at the time the attack took place.  The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries.  He was, though, checked out by medical personnel at a local hospital prior to being released.

Employee Request to Stop Jail Plan Denied

Last week, the Costa Mesa Employees Association was disappointed to learn that the Orange County Superior Court denied its request to stop the city’s plans to privatize the local jail.

This request was denied by Judge Luis Rodriguez because the City Council still had not reached its own decision to enter into a contract with G4S Secure Solutions.
 
Spokeswoman Jennifer Muir from the Orange County Employees Association, representing CMCEA, stated that the group “will continue to seek a preliminary injunction because we believe it is unlawful for the city to outsource the jail to the private sector.”
People who are supportive of …

OCSD Sheriff Says Jails Are Underfunded After Realignment

The realignment first took effect in October 2011.  Under that program, which is also known as AB 109, certain state prisoners started being transferred to county jails in order to serve out the remainder of their sentences.  The state promised it would provide additional funding to the OCSD in order to offset additional costs. Hutchens said more than 30,000 detainees have been shifted to county jails since AB 109 was implemented.

State officials disagree.  They have said that the reduction in the number of state prisoners is not due to them being shifted out.  Many of those numbers are due …

Law professional reviews Theo Lacy Jail, inmates use site as well

Inmates have been reviewing state prisons for years, offering information about their experiences behind bars. One woman, Ticha B., recently reviewed California's San Quentin State Prison, in which she gave it one star, according to The Sideshow, a Yahoo! News blog. Stephen Whitmore, spokesman for Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, told The Washington Post that if certain jails throughout the state are given bad reviews for abusive experiences or poor treatment, each of the situations are investigated.

However, he added that the people who are posting the reviews are "doing time for committing a crime," not critiquing food at a restaurant or a …
