- Police Brutality Watch

Orange County jail officials have shown an indifference to violence against inmates by deputies, who call themselves "psycho crew" and "the untouchables," according to an inmate who is suing a second time alleging that he was beaten. Daniel Louis Parra, 36, who is awaiting trial for murder, states that in both incidents he was pulled out of a food line, taken down a stairwell out of the view of video cameras and beaten. Both incidents were investigated by jail officials, who found no evidence of wrongdoing by jail personnel, said Jon Fleishman, a sheriff's spokesman. Parra was treated for injuries to his neck, head, face, eyes and arms after the alleged attacks, his attorney said. [more]
