San Francisco County Jails 2 and 3 have been placed on lockdown for the weekend due to reports of physical assaults against deputies and jail staff by the inmates.
Sheriff officials report that since March 29, at least seven staff members have been injured by some inmates, including two who have serious injuries. The San Francisco Deputies Sheriff's Association has called on Sheriff Paul Miyamoto, Mayor London Breed, and Board of Supervisor President Aaron Peskin to deploy the state's National Guard for the prisons amid staff shortages.
"In the letter, the SFDSA claimed 2023 saw at least 240 reported incidents of prisoner fights, a 58% increase from 2022, and that the reported attacks on inmates against other inmates rose 79% over the same period."These figures underscore the urgency of our situation and the critical need for intervention," the letter continued.
