Faction Introduction

(( The Los Santos County Sheriff's Department is a faction based off of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, that seeks to emulate the often-overlooked facets of American Law Enforcement. The premier goal of the Los Santos County Sheriff's Department is to provide quality police and correctional roleplay.

 

The primary emphasis in membership with this faction is character development through realistic roleplay & portrayal, with a high standard to ensure quality retention. Further, it is imperative for one to understand that this faction seeks to improve the quality of the server's criminal justice atmosphere - by providing services directly related, or affiliated to items such as court services, civil process, warrants, detention & custody through the county jail, inmate services, and much more.

 

We hope to establish a long & productive partnership with all members of the GTAW roleplay community, and shall always strive to maintain a constant dialogue through the efforts of this faction. ))
 


Our History

(..continued branch from main faction thread.)
 

Twin Towers Correctional Facility opened in the summer of 1997, under the leadership and patronage of Sheriff Darrell Button. However, following several scandals of brutality and misconduct involving the LSPD and LSSD — notable funds were pulled from circulation and the newly opened facility remained unstaffed and unoccupied by the inmate population till 2001. During the aforementioned time, deputies had to prevent people from breaking in and squatters from habituating within the empty correctional facility. Unlike LS Men's Central Jail, the Twin Towers Correctional Facility; or amply referred to as the Twin Towers Jail, enjoys a more positive reputation among civil rights and human rights watchdog groups. The institution is, however, not without fault. During the early two thousands, Federal probes and independent researchers showed concerning treatment of inmates that was often done through the guise of profiling, impeding on inmate guaranteed rights, and overly aggressive conduct towards the mentally well and unwell. 

 

gUFT6gi.pngThe aggressive conduct towards inmates and outright violations of core civil rights caused the Twin Towers Jail to be shut down by the federal government following an inquiry by which the LSSD did not abide. One notable incident involved the favoring of established "white" gangs over African American and Latino sets that would set up in the jail, to the point where the deputies were outright supporting and advancing the efforts of white neo-nazi groups inside the jail at the expense of other inmates, of whom some were not gang associated. Following an unnamed whistle blower, and the FBI informant scandal, the Los Santos Times ran an article that attracted attention of watch groups and activists. The department conceded and gave into the request for reform and the temporary shutting down of the jail. The reform never occurred, and the jail population was shifted to other jails operated by the LSSD.

 

Former Sheriff Peter "Pico" Collins headed the department from 2009 until his downfall in 2017. During Collins' reign corruption was rampant and close-knight deputy gangs were prominent. Within the ranks of the county's finest were individuals keen to oppress less fortunate individuals in the county jail system and rural towns. Following whistle-blower tips, an ACLU lawsuit brought down the Sheriff after the FBI took interest as part of their public corruption mandate. Pico and his Undersheriff were both sentenced to federal prison.

 

thNXfoa.pngFollowing a brief hiatus mandated by the Federal Department of Justice, Patrick Machado won the seat as Los Santos County Sheriff after a special election was held. Almost immediately after swearing into office, Sheriff Machado ordered the re-opening of the Twin Towers Los Santos County Jail to massively aid the growing overcrowding issue of the region's detention facilities.

 

This facility that soon become the most highly populated jail in San Andreas. Through a consensus that ranged through early 2018 to early 2020, it was found that there was an overwhelming elevated number of male inmates within incarceration compared to their female counterpart. As numbers within the jail continued to rise, Sheriff Machado announced a revamp of the facility to further cater to the rehabilitation of the facility. Administration in the jail was soon appointed to Captain Isabella Ramirez who enacted numerous programs to ensure the safety and well-being of inmates as well as initiatives to monitor rehabilitation.

 

UoqMa2o.pngHeat was put back on the department in May 2020 when a fatal stabbing occurred within the facility during a jail riot, Oscar Marina, a high risk inmate with numerous documentations of being connected to various criminal organisations, mutilated Jayden Hernandez. Justice Isaac Rhodes with the Superior Courts of San Andreas, under the command of the Chief of Justice Edward Cline, ordered the first death penalty under his administration. This is believed to have been a contributing factor to further harsh critiques upon the jail. Sheriff Machado released a statement to numerous news sources; "The sentence handed down on the matter of Oscar Marina is justice for the victims of his crimes and the families mourning the losses of their loved ones. Marina murdered without remorse or regret and had an established propensity for violence and remorseless killing. With this sentence, it means Marina will be transferred to death row within a highly secure facility wherein he has no ability to threaten the safety or security of fellow inmates. Marina's sentence should show to the criminal enterprises of this state that we will pursue them judiciously, even behind bars, to ensure their criminal activity will not continue unabated.".

— Operations

Twin Towers Correctional Facilitya8amfu7.png

The Twin Towers Correctional Facility, also known as the Twin Towers Jail, is the primary facility for all individuals initially processed within Los Santos County. The facility is 1.5 million square feet and opened in 1997, making it one of the most modern facilities the Los Santos Sheriff's Department operates. After the North Los Santos Earthquake damaged the Halls of Justice, the project for a new county jail facility was started. Alongside the Men's Central Jail facility in downtown Los Santos, the facility ranked as one of the ten worst jails within the United States by national magazines. The jail is utterly overcrowded due to state-wide mandates for court reorganizations, with many state prisoners staying in the jail system for prolonged periods of time while awaiting trial, release, or processing. The jail functions both as a pre-trial facility and state prison, as many inmates abuse the courts to stay in jail rather than enter the SADCR institutions.
