Report is [HERE] From [HERE] Dozens of current and former inmates in Los Angeles County jails claim to have suffered head blows from deputies during scuffles, resulting in at least 12 serious head injuries since 2009, according to a report released Wednesday.

According to the report entitled "Sheriff Baca's Strike Force: Deputy Violence and Head Injuries of Inmates in LA County Jails," deputies have "stomped on inmates' heads, after shackling those inmates' hands."

"They have bashed inmates' faces into concrete walls," it added. "They have fractured inmates' facial bones - noses, jaws, cheekbones or eye sockets."

ACLU legal director Peter Eliasberg said the report included 64 sworn statements from inmates, former inmates and civilian eyewitnesses taken since 2009, as well as photographs and medical records. It also said deputies have broken facial bones of at least 11 inmates, blinded an inmate in one eye, sent three inmates to operating rooms, and left 14 inmates with deep gashes that needed sutures. Despite the number and severity of injuries, the ACLU complained that too few cases were identified by the sheriff's department as having excessive uses of force.
