Jails

LA County will squeeze 16 new mental health care beds into the Twin Towers jail in Downtown, where overcrowded conditions have led inmates and activists to file several lawsuits against the County.

Tuesday is the deadline for voters to decide who will fill the LA-city council seat vacated by former city council president Nury Martinez. Conan Nolan reports for the NBC4 News on April 3, 2023.

LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis withdrew a motion Monday that sought to drastically reduce the number of people locked up in County jails, including a proposal to return to a Covid-19 pandemic-like nearly ‘no-bail’ state, in which most people arrested were immediately released from custody.
