Calif. sheriff's department sued by GBT inmates

The ACLU on Wednesday of last week filed a class-action lawsuit against California's San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department on behalf of gay, transgender and bisexual inmates

The suit alleges that the department housed gay, bisexual and transgender individuals in an "alternative lifestyle tank" where they were kept indoors for 22-and-a-half hours a day and denied access to drug treatments, education and work programs.
