SAN DIEGO, Calif. — More than 80 people inside two California detention centers, Mesa Verde in Bakersfield and the Golden State Annex in McFarland, are on hunger strike in protest of the conditions inside. On Sunday, a rally was held in solidarity just outside the Western Region Detention Facility downtown.
“Personally it’s just my people are getting caged, and if we can do something about it then that’s why I’m here,” said Ruth Mendez. “Terrible medical care… people wait weeks to see a doctor, People who are in mental health crisis who wait for weeks to see a psychologist or psychiatrist. The food is atrocious, it's not nutritious. People have shown me photos of cockroaches in the food, moldy food, expired food,” she said.
