Lack of buses keeps Los Angeles jail inmates from court appearances and contributes to overcrowding ...Middle East

Up to one-third of the 12,000 inmates in Los Angeles County jails can't get to their court appearances because of a shortage of functioning buses, and county supervisors this week advanced a proposal to try and fix the problem. The LA County Sheriff's Department currently has only 23 operable buses out of a total of 82, and there have been days when as few as six were running, supervisors said. Officials said the breakdown of the inmate transportation system has kept the county's seven jails overcrowded with incarcerated people who might have been released by a judge or sentenced to a state prison — if they had appeared in court.
