This federal lawsuit challenges the County of San Diego, San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, and San Diego County Probation Department for their collective failure to provide adequate, accessible and safe living conditions, and medical and mental health care for people incarcerated in county jails. It also seeks to address the rights of individuals to pursue claims without attorney representation and to address over-incarceration in county jails of people of color.
In November 2022, Plaintiffs filed the third amended class action complaint in this case:
