A man at Elmwood Correctional Facility is on life support following a brutal attack by other inmates, identified as gang members, who mistakenly targeted him. The incident, lasting 20-25 minutes, occurred in a dormitory environment with minimal staff presence. The NAACP is pressing for transparency and accountability, pointing to staffing issues and questioning the safety measures in place. As the inmate's condition remains critical, concerns rise regarding the increasing number of in-custody deaths in county jails.
The inmate was taken to an area hospital, where he underwent surgery for traumatic head injuries.
Three inmates were identified as suspects and transferred to the Main Jail in San Jose.
We question why this individual was placed in an environment where his life was at risk.
...the inmate is not expected to survive his injuries, according to Allen.
