Sacramento County Agrees to Pay $500 to Settle Tort Claim
In August of 2006, the County of Sacramento agreed to settle a tort claim brought by a prisoner who alleged that he was assaulted by a guard at the Sacramento County Main Jail. The terms of the settlement require the County to pay the prisoner $500, and waive $4,502.04 the prisoner owed the county.
