A 64-year-old disabled inmate won the first battle in a lawsuit alleging he was neglected and mistreated while incarcerated in the San Luis Obispo County Jail.
“The wheelchair the jail used for this was not clean and covered in another person’s urine,” according to the lawsuit. “Despite this, plaintiff was made to sit in it and was not allowed to rinse off or clean himself after using it. Plaintiff was then placed in a very dirty and unhealthy “solitary confinement” cell which was not ADA compliant.”
In Jan. 2017, the county violated multiple rules and regulations in the treatment of Andrew Holland, a mentally ill man who died after being strapped in a restraint chair for two days in the SLO County Jail. According to the agreement, the county was required to provide a litany of items for 24 month including, ADA compliant housing, self-propelled wheelchairs and the ability to participate in activities at the jail. Failure to comply to the agreement leaves the county open to a federal takeover of the jail along with fines and other penalties.
