Lack of care for pregnant inmate alleged
A federal lawsuit filed by California Rural Legal Assistance on behalf of five inmates claims Yuba County jail inmates face poor health care after a recent fire. The suit names Sheriff James Grant chief jailer AL Walls and the board of supervisors as defendants.

The filing follows news of the fire and seeks remedies for the inmates.
