In San Diego’s largest jail, people in the most restrictive ad-seg unit get two options for out-of-cell time: a cage or… a cage. www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/06/29/i...
In San Diego’s largest jail, some detainees spend out-of-cell time in small, cage-like enclosures
Critics say the jail’s cage-like enclosures constitute a form of solitary confinement that exacerbates mental illness and makes the jail less safe overall.

The two strangers were 18 years & two times zones apart. But a persistent case of mistaken identity by police cost one man his job & landed the other in jail for 7 weeks.
