OPINION: 'it would be logistically impossible for one deputy locked in the Crow’s Nest to oversee nearly 100 inmates.' In a special to The Examiner, EskSF shares that inmates only have 45 minutes to shower, stretch their legs or visit the library.
Three decades ago, Sunny Schwartz says, San Francisco Sheriff Mike Hennessey reached out to her with a simple message: He didn’t want San Francisco’s jails to be “human warehouses.”
A generation ago, The City’s jails also moved away from the “Cool Hand Luke” model of a guard in a parapet watching the inmates from afar and adopted “direct supervision.” The deputies were in the pods with the inmates, interacting with them. Deputies working inside tell me that, yes, that’s 45 minutes a day, meaning inmates in this pilot program are in their cells for the other 23 hours and 15 minutes.
But, for those feeling the effects, that’s a difference without a distinction. It’s a bad combination when prisoners are held in tiny cells for the vast majority of every day without programming to not only pass the time but to make them healthier and more functional people. In-person family visits and religious services, too, are not currently available. The jail, in short, has devolved into a human warehouse. By the way, CJ3 is also currently suffering through its worst COVID outbreak yet.
You do not have to be a bleeding-heart liberal to see trouble brewing here. Regardless of what you think about fentanyl and deterrence and accountability, it is problematic to funnel more people into a jail system enduring these problems.
