The suitallegesthat the countys pretrial-detention practices violate state and federal constitutional rights.

Fiona Apple has a story for you.
Asked me to share.She’s become an avid, trained Court Watcher.
Her observations helped people jailed pretrial file a civil rights lawsuit.
Then came the retaliation.
What do you think happened when that lawsuit dropped?
They took our fucking Zoom access away.
Why would they take our access away?
What would you think if a cop was walking towards you and took off their body camera?
Im just hoping that the audience that receives this is going to care, she concludes.
Having their whole family and communities ripple effect.
Because pretrial is not on their shit.
Because the loved one cant afford to get out.
Because they got forgotten …
Being treated like youre not even human.
Fiona Apple cant fetch the bolt cutters alone, people!
