Black and Latino inmates in California were segregated in one Los Angeles County jail last week and the entire jail system was on indefinite lockdown following riots that left one dead and about 60 injured. Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca ordered the lockdown for the 21,000 inmates in his control after two riots at a detention center complex that he said reflected daily violence between Latinos and blacks in the county's gangs. The US Supreme Court ruled last year that prisoners cannot be segregated along racial lines except in extraordinary circumstances. But Baca told reporters he would like to impose segregation whenever a jail had information that racial fighting might flare, and he showed the media a note he had received from an inmate urging sheriffs ''please separate us by race for everyone's safety." |
