50th Reunion of Watts Riots – L.A. Activist Rally for no more Prisons
By Let's Talk Los Angeles on August 12, 2015
There was a downtown L.A. rally Tuesday on the 50th anniversary of the Watts Riots, where protesters called for L.A. County to stop building more jails. A couple hours after the protest and press conference, which was organized by L.A. No More Jails Coalition and other groups, ended, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors voted 3-1 to build a new 3,885-bed men’s detention center, or “jail treatment facility,” in downtown L.A. It would replace the Men’s Central Jail and the 1,604-bed jail for women in Lancaster California.
