The LA County Jail proposal is coming to the BOS in the next 2-3 weeks. It looks like it is not on this Tuesday’s agenda but a report on status of implementation on recommendations from the Citizens Commission on Jail Violence is at 9 am

And a report on implementation of AB109 at 2 pm

The following jail reports that were presented to BOS staff on Feb 6

We will be summarizing the reports and creating talking points for review and practice at Sunday’s NMJs meeting.

A. Alternatives to Incarceration ( I assume this means a report on the measures they have taken )

B. Jail Plan
Ptichess Women’s Village
Men’s Central Jail Replacement Project

C. Other Facilities
Mira Loma Detention Facility
Community Correctional Facilities – Taft ( I believe this the out-of county transfer site)
