The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, citing abuse of California prisonsers with disabilities, upheld a slate of ordered reforms including officer body cameras.
Citing a “staff culture of targeting inmates with disabilities” within California prisons, a federal appellate court on Thursday upheld the legality of a set of measures aimed at improving the behavior of correctional officers.
“In both of its orders, the district court found not only ongoing violations of class members’ rights at the prisons, but also a common source of those violations: the lack of sufficient accountability measures to address officers’ misconduct, which fostered a staff culture of targeting inmates with disabilities,” Circuit Judge Michelle Friedland wrote for the appellate court. “The record amply supports both conclusions.
“We are committed to ensuring accountability and results-driven changes to address the issues raised by the District Court,” Waters said. One prisoner who struggles with mobility asked for help carrying a heavy package, and an officer refused. When the prisoner threatened to file a complaint, the officer pepper-sprayed him, hit him with the spray canister and then kicked him, Grunfeld said.
