In the proposed settlement, the county agreed to limits on how long detainees can be held at the inmate reception center and handcuffed or tethered to chairs and benches there.
ACLU lawyers asked a federal judge to find L.A. County, sheriff and supervisors in contempt of court for failing to fix conditions in the county jails.
Under the agreement announced Friday, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, which operates the county’s jails, is barred from holding an inmate in the reception center for longer than 24 hours or handcuffing or tethering an inmate to an object for more than four hours.
