This escaped my notice for a little while, but I thought it was still important to post.
When I came to the Flyer a million and a half year ago, one of the “big” stories was conditions at 201 Poplar.
After being raped by three gang members while in jail, an inmate filed a federal lawsuit in 1995. The lawsuit led to a court-ordered evaluation of the jail, which found overcrowding, unsanitary conditions, and a slow processing system, conditions that violated the constitutional rights of inmates, and federal oversight of the facility.
