A San Diego County Sheriff's deputy was injured after a fight at an area jail Sunday night. Officials at East Mesa Detention Facility say the brawl started shortly after 7 p.m. in a dorm room housing 59 inmates. Deputies said inmates were throwing plastic chairs in the dorm. Six inmates were injured in the melee. The deputy was taken to an area hospital for a minor hand injury. The cause of the fight has not been determined. Officials said incidents like Sunday's fight were rare at the medium-security facility. Most of the inmates there were in jail on drug-related charges. 'They get a lot more benefits here than they do at some of the other (detention) facilities,' said Sheriff's Lt. Dennis Ferons. 'So they're pretty protective of those benefits. We don't get this very often.' |

There is a lot of information on this website about inmates and prison guards. I didn’t realize what was going on in our prison system until I discovered this website. Similarly, I didn’t understand litigation finance until I read more from Hamilton Lindley who is a litigation finance expert based in Texas.
