"This has been happening over again on the inside. So we're just here to say that we believe you and support you,"
"The mass strip-search and the harassment that continue afterwards is unacceptable and unjust,"
"During the strip-search, there was body-worn camera footage that was turned on. At least one of the women know that there was a younger deputy who tried to speak up and said, 'shouldn't we have our cameras off?' And they were directed, 'no keep the camera on,'"
At least 19 women accuse San Francisco sheriff's deputies of subjecting them to a mass strip-search inside the B-Pod of San Francisco County Jail on May 22, 2025. The women report male deputies were present during searches, armed guards pointed guns, and body-worn camera footage remained on despite policy exceptions for strip searches. A complaint was filed alleging violations including failure to conduct searches in private areas and presence of men during searches. Several women are represented by private attorneys, and advocates held a rally demanding investigation and accountability.
