L A inmates paid for extra time after jail release delays
Dozens of inmates in Los Angeles County jails received checks from the sheriff’s office as settlements for being kept past court ordered release dates. About 30 inmates have been paid roughly $26,000 this year, averaging 17 days over release, with checks ranging from $150 to $8,000. The payouts acknowledge the department’s faulty inmate tracking system and aim to avoid further lawsuits.
