The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved about $3 million in settlements related to the Sheriff's Department in August of 2026.
I broke down how the funds paid out: a lieutenant DUI, a deputy accused of s*xual abuse, and more.

"The alarming conditions inside Delaney Hall and other ICE jails have long been the reality of daily life for nearly 2 million incarcerated people in this country."
The entire U.S. carceral system is built on cruelty.

Five people have the opportunity to stop shoveling billions in taxpayer dollars to a department that regularly costs us millions in settlements every month.

The LA County Supervisors approved just under $3m in settlements stemming from LASD personnel in August. Incidents include a lieutenant driving drunk and a deputy sexually exploiting a disabled woman.

LASD Gangs have run rampant for decades with zero accountability from the Sheriff’s Department or the DA.
Thank you @HollyJMitchell for starting a process that should have completed years ago. #GoogleLASDGangs
#BREAKING: LA Supervisor @HollyJMitchell has written a motion directing the LA County Sheriff's Dept to identify deputy gangs within its ranks.
If passed, the names of the gangs could be made public as soon as next year.

38 deaths in 38 weeks and @LACountyBOS has still not presented a timeline to close the deadly Men’s Central Jail.
The County’s decision to invest in jails is fatal and tragic —and a deliberate choice given the alternatives to incarceration.

Two days after the LA jails got sued by the state for, among other things, the large number of in-custody deaths this year.... LASD just posted yet another.
37 deaths in 37 weeks.
Dignity & Power In Action retweeted
36 deaths in 35 weeks. This is the deadliest year in LA sheriffs department custody and most people who have died are pretrial.
What more has to happen before @LACountyBOS finally takes the bold steps needed to close Men’s Central Jail?

People are rotting in LA County jails because they can’t get a lawyer. Cases are being thrown out because public defenders are drowning in impossible caseloads. This isn’t an accident—it’s a system designed to starve public defense.

Shame on @kathrynbarger & the COUNTY LAWYERS for their intimidation and removal of two key members of the COC. Tell her that her support of Sheriff violence does NOT go unnoticed! Call her @ 213-974-5555 and visit jlanow.org/CallBarger to see talking points #ProtecttheCOC

The decision to force out Bonner comes after several
moves by the county and their lawyers to prevent the COC from DOING THEIR JOB & investigating cases of severe brutality and murders by LASD.

@kathrynbarger and @LASDHQ continue to suppress the Civilian Oversight Commission from holding the Sheriff Department accountable for their brutality. Read LA Times article by @@ConnorASheets to learn more. latimes.com/california/story…

A Juneteenth Reminder from us—Incarcerated labor and immigrant exploitation are rooted in slavery.
Juneteenth celebrates the emancipation of enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865. California voted AGAINST abolishing slavery just 8 months ago. A thread from DPN👇🏾 (1/6)
ALT Prisoners from the Jim Ferguson Unit, a state-owned prison in Midway, TX, bring in the harvest from the prison’s cotton fields. A former slave plantation, the Ferguson Unit is a maximum-security prison and a working farm. "Incarcerated labor is rooted in slavery."
ALT Juneteenth is a celebration of the emancipation of enslaved Black people in Texas on June 19, 1865. After the Civil War, it took over two and a half years for the news of freedom to finally reach those who were still in bondage in Texas.

Dignity and Power Now has been partnering with Dr.Keel (@terencedouglaskeel) and the UCLA BioCritical Studies Lab for years to highlight what actually happens to people who die in custody. Check out Dr.Keel's interview with @uclaradio, and lookout for his upcoming book this fall!

I’m here today outside Men’s Central Jail with the mothers and family members of people who died in custody.
Last year, LASD deputies met this peaceful rally with riot gear. Kids were eating lunch as deputies lined up with shields and batons.
Today, I don’t see that.
