A 3 a.m. raid last summer at the Correctional Training Facility In Soledad is now the subject of a lawsuit. 4 of the inmates involved have filed the suit on assault, negligence, and civil rights violations….saying that none of the 150 inmates involved were even allowed masks before they were forced to strip, had their hands zip-tied, and were put all together in the dining hall. Many say the raid was a Covid-19 superspreader event that led to more than 27-hundred cases of Covid-19, and 17 deaths….all directly traceable to the raid. The warden said goal of “Operation Akili” was to investigate gang activity in the facility. The first hearing on this case is scheduled for June 22nd.
