New Violence Erupts at L.A. County Jail

CASTAIC, Calif. (AP) - Hispanic and black inmates fought at a Los Angeles County
maximum-security jail despite a lockdown that had been instituted a day earlier
after fighting left one black prisoner dead.
About 200 inmates fought in two dorms at the North County Correctional Facility
late Sunday, with 10 people suffering minor injuries that were treated at the
jail, said Deputy Alba Yates of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Investigators said it wasn't clear if Sunday's fighting was connected to
Saturday's riot, which left 45-year-old inmate Wayne Robert Tiznor dead and more
than 100 other inmates injured. None of the injuries were life-threatening,
authorities said.
The lockdown remained in effect early Monday and jail officials declined to say
how long it might last.
Saturday's riot appeared to be fueled by racial tension and a feud between black
and Hispanic gangs, investigators said.
Tiznor was jailed after being arrested Jan. 3 for failing to register as a sex
offender, sheriff's officials said.
It was not clear whether Tiznor was singled out, said Steve Whitmore, a
spokesman for the county's Sheriff's Department, which operates the jail system.
Black and Hispanic inmates at the facility were segregated after the fighting
Saturday.
Authorities normally can't segregate prisoners based on race or ethnicity
because it is illegal, but legal advisers said it can be done in emergency
situations, Sam Jones, chief custody officer of the county jail system.
About 1,800 to 2,000 inmates were involved in the rioting Saturday that lasted
for 30 minutes to an hour, and about 200 inmates engaged in ``serious
fighting,'' said Deputy Steve Suzuki, another sheriff's spokesman.
The North County Correctional Facility is a maximum security complex comprised
of five jails within one facility on a 34-acre site and houses about 4,000
inmates. It's about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
The county jail system, which is the largest jail system in the United States,
on average has a daily population of about 21,000 inmates, according to the
sheriff's department.

I went to a party at the local county jail
All the cons were dancing and the band began to wail
But the guys were indiscreet
They were brawling in the street
At the local dance at the local county jail
Well the band were playing
And the booze began to flow
But the sound came over on the police car radio
Down at Precinct 49
Having a tear-gas of a time
Sergeant Baker got a call from the governor of the county jail
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
I love to hear those convicts squeal
It's a shame these slugs ain't real
But we can't have dancin' at the local county jail
Sergeant Baker and his men made a bee-line for the jail
And for miles around
You could hear the sirens wail
There's a rumor goin' round death row
That a fuse is gonna blow
At the local hop at the local county jail
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Sergeant Baker started talkin'
With a bullhorn in his hand
He was cool, he was clear
He was always in command
He said "Blood will flow;
Here Padre
Padre you talk to your boys..."
"Trust in me -
God will come to set you free"
Well we don't understand
Why you called in the National Guard
When Uncle Sam is the one
Who belongs in the exercise yard
We all got balls and brains
But some's got balls and chains
At the local dance at the local county jail
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Load up, load up, load up with rubber bullets
Is it really such a crime
For a guy to spend his time
At the local dance at the local county jail
At the local dance at the local county jail
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do
Whatcha gonna do about it, whatcha gonna do

We shall go on to the end, we shall defend our World, whatever the cost may be,
we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall
fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall
never surrender, and even if this World, or a large part of it were subjugated
and starving, then we would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time,
the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue
and the liberation of the old."
To rebel is right, to disobey is a duty, to act is necessary !
