The 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 living conditions, and medical and mental health care for people incarcerated in county jails. It also seeks to address over-incarceration in county jails and, in particular, the over-incarceration of people with disabilities and people of color.
