Newsweek: 31 Gang Members Attack CA Jail Inmate for Talking to Police, DA Says

Dozens of gang members have been charged over allegedly beating a fellow inmate for nearly six minutes after they discovered he was working with law enforcement.

A grand jury has indicted 31 gang members housed in the Santa Clara County Jail, California, following an attack which left the victim naked and covered in blood. His attackers left him broken bones and poured floor cleaner on his face, prosecutors say.

The attack took place in a dorm room the inmates shared at the Elmwood Correctional Facility in Milpitas on November 30, 2020. The attack occurred in an open dormitory style jail unit limited to gang members.
