Los Angeles – In a passionate call to action, Larry Jones and myself, Nanci, his wife, are rallying advocates and community members to support my husband Larry, who is currently housed in the medical tier of LA County Men’s Central Jail. My plea comes amid alarming reports of corruption and misconduct within the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Larry filed a lawsuit against the county after he was assaulted by Deputy Ynigo, a known member of a sheriff gang.
