Attorney Jeff Price said the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department violated detainees' constitutional rights by subjecting them to 'a literal blizzard of pepper spray without any justification.'
Some men began to pray. Some just screamed. A few began to vomit while others, according to court filings, slipped and fell on the floors slick with chemical spray that jailers had unleashed inside the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic.
The county has not yet responded to the filings in court, but the Sheriff’s Department issued a brief statement via email. Just after 11 p.m., the suit alleges, a deputy came in and ordered the men to hang up for the night. At first, two refused. They ordered the men to put their property on their bunks and face the wall. Three or four jailers were talking through their gas masks, allegedly cursing and insulting the men. Eventually, the lawsuits say, they ordered the two inmates who’d originally refused to cuff up to come to the gate, and they threatened to gas the whole unit if they didn’t do it quickly enough.A newly released 15-second security video shows a sheriff’s deputy slamming a handcuffed inmate’s head into a concrete wall.
Some of the men began to run around, allegedly hurting themselves when they slipped and fell on the slick floors. An elderly detainee injured his back when he fell off his bunk, according to the court filings.
