She holds a bachelor's degree in broadcast journalism from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her radio romance began after a bitter breakup with documentary film (Ok, maybe it's still complicated). Her first simultaneous jobs in San Francisco were as Associate Producer on a PBS film series through the Center for Asian American Media and as a butler. She likes to trot, plot and make things with her hands.",

We choose to remain anonymous because this is not about us as artists, but about the growing movement to address these pervasive wrongs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For those who think these images are no longer relevant to the social framework in which black Americans exist everyday – we respectfully disagree. Garner, Brown, and others are victims of systemic racism. For those who think these images depict crimes and attitudes too distasteful to be seen .. we respectfully disagree. Our society must never forget. For those under the mistaken assumption that the images themselves were intended as an act of racism – we vehemently disagree and intended only the confrontation of historical context.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We apologize solely and profusely to Black Americans who felt further attacked by this work. We are sorry – your pain is ours, our families’, our history’s. To all, each image represents a true life ended by an unimaginable act of ignorance and human cruelty: Laura Nelson, George Meadows, Michael Donald, Charlie Hale, Garfield Burley, Curtis Brown. We urge you to further research the lives and deaths of these individuals. History must be confronted.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/autonomyroad/status/544293400095121408\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pablo Gonzalez, a Cal professor of Chicano studies, said the notice above was posted on a bulletin board on the UC Berkeley campus and passed on to him.

Nelson and her son, L.D. Nelson, were lynched on May 25, 1911, in Oklahoma, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_of_Laura_and_L.D._Nelson\">according to Wikipedia.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/pastormykmac/status/543874329587372033/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lynchings happened after the deputy sheriff and three others arrived at the Nelson home on May 2 to investigate the theft of a cow. L.D. Nelson shot and killed the deputy sheriff, and he and Laura Nelson, who had also touched the gun, were charged with murder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-179073 size-medium\" src=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Screen-Shot-2014-12-13-at-1.38.49-PM-251x360.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2014-12-13 at 1.38.49 PM\" width=\"251\" height=\"360\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At around midnight on May 24, Laura and L.D. Nelson were both kidnapped from their cells by a group of between a dozen and 40 men,” according to Wikipedia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sightseers gathered on the bridge the following morning and photographs of the hanging bodies were sold as postcards; the one of Laura is the only known surviving photograph of a female lynching victim. No one was ever charged with the murders; the district judge convened a grand jury, but the killers were never identified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 1:10 p.m. Saturday: \u003c/strong>\u003ca href=\"http://mendoza-denton.socialpsychology.org/\">Rodolfo Mendoza-Denton\u003c/a>, a UC Berkeley professor and national expert on intergroup relations — particularly related to race — said Saturday afternoon that he had been upset to learn about the effigies on campus earlier in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whether it’s commentary or provocation, it’s atrocious,” he said. “It’s just mean, period. And heartless. And whoever did that simply needs to grow up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said it’s difficult to know exactly how to interpret the effigies, whether as a “thoughtless joke” or “straight-up inflammatory racist behavior.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It falls somewhere along the line between prank and consciously racist messaging,” he said. “But it doesn’t matter. It’s absolutely thoughtless and wrong. Given the volatility of the situation, it’s just damaging to everybody. It’s a very public and clear example that racism exists at all levels of society, and it’s precisely the kind of symbol that protesters are protesting against.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said he has been keeping a close eye on this past week’s protests in Berkeley, and had been sad to see all the broken windows in businesses downtown as he drove through the area Saturday. He said he does not support the violence but, “at the same time, there’s a lot of pent-up frustration and anger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said, beyond the protests, the community needs a forum to come together for healing and communication. A week and a half ago, the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/04/breaking-cal-students-hold-black-lives-matter-rally/\">Black Student Union held one such event on campus\u003c/a>, and Berkeley High students along with REALM Charter School students staged a \u003ca title=\"Black Lives Matter protest by hundreds of Berkeley High students ‘shows how it’s done’\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/11/black-lives-matter-protest-by-hundreds-of-berkeley-high-students-shows-how-its-done/\">walkout and rally\u003c/a>, which culminated with a “die-in” on the UC Berkeley campus several days ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said there have been a number of informal forums, but that nothing large-scale has been planned by the university to his knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to come together to heal,” he said. “There are a lot of different factions, a lot of different voices, and not a lot of control over the messaging one way or another. We need a forum to help us process these very emotionally laden, very relevant events. But that has to be a two-way street. It has to be a dialogue. And there’s got to be goodwill. And effigies are the very antithesis of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:26 p.m.\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Saturday:\u003c/strong> UC Berkeley spokeswoman Claire Holmes called Berkeleyside back to clarify some information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said University of California Police Department officers found two effigies hanging from Sather Gate on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also saw a photo of a third effigy in an area they think was the Campanile. When police went to remove it, they could not find it, said Holmes. Police believe that someone else took it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the effigies hanging from Sather Gate had “Can’t Breathe,” written on it. Eric Garner kept saying that when Staten Island police held him in a chokehold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effigies were life-size, she said They were cardboard cutouts, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley Police received its first call about the matter at 9:10 a.m., she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 12:07 p.m. Saturday: \u003c/strong>UC police found three effigies hanging from a noose on the UC Berkeley campus this morning, according to Claire Holmes, a university spokeswoman. There was some writing on the effigies, including “Put Your Hands Up,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effigies were found at Sather Gate and around the Campanile, she said. No suspects have been detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unclear what the intent was,,” said Holmes. “It could be that these are related to police violence and the protests that are going on in Ferguson. It could be racially motivated as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police are combing the campus to see if there are any others, said Holmes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/pastormykmac/status/543819696181493760/\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story, 11:54 a.m.\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Saturday:\u003c/strong> UC Berkeley police have confirmed that someone strung up an effigy from Sather Gate around 9 a.m., three hours before a #BlackLivesMatter march was scheduled to begin. It has been taken down.

A week and a half ago, the UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/04/breaking-cal-students-hold-black-lives-matter-rally/\">Black Student Union held one such event on campus\u003c/a>, and Berkeley High students along with REALM Charter School students staged a \u003ca title=\"Black Lives Matter protest by hundreds of Berkeley High students ‘shows how it’s done’\" href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/12/11/black-lives-matter-protest-by-hundreds-of-berkeley-high-students-shows-how-its-done/\">walkout and rally\u003c/a>, which culminated with a “die-in” on the UC Berkeley campus several days ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendoza-Denton said there have been a number of informal forums, but that nothing large-scale has been planned by the university to his knowledge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to come together to heal,” he said. “There are a lot of different factions, a lot of different voices, and not a lot of control over the messaging one way or another. We need a forum to help us process these very emotionally laden, very relevant events. But that has to be a two-way street. It has to be a dialogue. And there’s got to be goodwill. And effigies are the very antithesis of that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:26 p.m.\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Saturday:\u003c/strong> UC Berkeley spokeswoman Claire Holmes called Berkeleyside back to clarify some information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said University of California Police Department officers found two effigies hanging from Sather Gate on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They also saw a photo of a third effigy in an area they think was the Campanile. When police went to remove it, they could not find it, said Holmes. Police believe that someone else took it down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the effigies hanging from Sather Gate had “Can’t Breathe,” written on it. Eric Garner kept saying that when Staten Island police held him in a chokehold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effigies were life-size, she said They were cardboard cutouts, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley Police received its first call about the matter at 9:10 a.m., she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 12:07 p.m. Saturday: \u003c/strong>UC police found three effigies hanging from a noose on the UC Berkeley campus this morning, according to Claire Holmes, a university spokeswoman. There was some writing on the effigies, including “Put Your Hands Up,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effigies were found at Sather Gate and around the Campanile, she said. No suspects have been detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unclear what the intent was,,” said Holmes. “It could be that these are related to police violence and the protests that are going on in Ferguson. It could be racially motivated as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Police are combing the campus to see if there are any others, said Holmes.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The decision was made as activists from \u003ca href=\"https://occupyoakland.org/ai1ec_event/shut-berkeley-city-council-remove-mayor-office/?instance_id=280227\" target=\"_blank\">Occupy Oakland called for a shutdown\u003c/a> of the meeting. A statement from Mayor Tom Bates suggested the meeting was scratched because of capacity issues:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The Council Chambers can hold about 125 people, and we understand substantially more people are interested in attending the meeting due to recent events in Berkeley. We want to ensure that the community has as much access as possible to public meetings. The Agenda for the December 9 meeting will be rescheduled for a future date and public notice will be given prior to that meeting. A notice of meeting cancellation will be issued by the City Clerk and publicly posted. We apologize for any inconvenience.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Occupy Oakland is still calling for a 7 p.m. activist \"convergence\" at the park adjacent to the Berkeley Civic Center building. Other activists have called for a 5 p.m. gathering and march from Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue -- in part to protest the jailing of 150 activists arrested after Interstate 80 was blocked during Monday night's march.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That demonstration marked the third straight night of demonstrations in Berkeley against police killings earlier this year of African-American men -- one, Michael Brown, in a suburb of St. Louis and the other, Eric Garner, in the New York City borough of Staten Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The events have also taken on a much more local focus, with protesters reacting to aggressive police tactics on Saturday night, the first evening of the demonstrations. Police that night used tear gas, batons and \"less than lethal\" munitions to try to disperse several hundred demonstrators. The second night of the protest was marked by widespread window-smashing and other vandalism -- though most of the hundreds who participated in a marathon evening of marching were nonviolent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 9 a.m. Tuesday: \u003c/strong>The California Highway Patrol reports that it arrested 150 people near the Powell Street ramps to Interstate 80 in Emeryville. The CHP says most of those arrested will face charges of resisting arrest/obstructing a peace officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley police said a total of nine people were arrested there during Monday night's event. Police said there were no reports of vandalism or other violence in the city during the evening-long protest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:50 p.m. Monday:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a standoff of more than an hour between police and protesters in the Powell Street Center Shopping Plaza in Emeryville, police have begun making arrests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/VivianHo/status/542222260778438656\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Check back in the morning for all the latest information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 10:16 p.m.:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\u003cp>*TRAVEL ADVISORY* Protesters have mostly been cleared from eb and wb 80 but traffic remains heavy use 24 to 680 to avoid delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— CHP Golden Gate (@CHP_GoldenGate) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CHP_GoldenGate/status/542201046320164864\">December 9, 2014\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original Post:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following a weekend of protests, a crowd of several hundred people left the UC Berkeley campus around 5 p.m. Monday evening.

Other activists have called for a 5 p.m. gathering and march from Bancroft Way and Telegraph Avenue -- in part to protest the jailing of 150 activists arrested after Interstate 80 was blocked during Monday night's march.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That demonstration marked the third straight night of demonstrations in Berkeley against police killings earlier this year of African-American men -- one, Michael Brown, in a suburb of St. Louis and the other, Eric Garner, in the New York City borough of Staten Island.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The events have also taken on a much more local focus, with protesters reacting to aggressive police tactics on Saturday night, the first evening of the demonstrations. Police that night used tear gas, batons and \"less than lethal\" munitions to try to disperse several hundred demonstrators. The second night of the protest was marked by widespread window-smashing and other vandalism -- though most of the hundreds who participated in a marathon evening of marching were nonviolent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 9 a.m. Tuesday: \u003c/strong>The California Highway Patrol reports that it arrested 150 people near the Powell Street ramps to Interstate 80 in Emeryville.

"content": "\u003cp>As Berkeley gets ready for a third night of protests arising from the police killings of African-American men in Missouri and New York, Mayor Tom Bates says he'd like to see some sort of communication between city officials and march organizers to head off the kind of unrest the city has seen the past two nights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The disturbances -- in which small numbers of marchers among the larger, nonviolent crowds have vandalized businesses around downtown Berkeley, thrown objects at police and fought with other protesters -- have resulted in about a dozen arrests. Protest organizers have criticized police for an aggressive response on Saturday night that included batons, tear gas and the reported use of \"less than lethal\" munitions such as rubber bullets or beanbags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said in an interview with KQED's Tara Siler on Monday that in protests during the Vietnam War era, it was common for protest organizers to have contact with public officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It really makes sense to say, 'Here's where we plan to gather, this is what we plan to do at the gathering, and we're going to march down these streets -- this is the route we're going to take,' \" Bates said. \"And that way, the police and others can pretty much assure that it'll be safe and there won't be any particular violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/180633067\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said that although he's spoken on an \"informal\" basis with some involved in the protests, he's unsure whether other city officials have had such discussions. He said part of the problem in doing so is that some activists -- such as those in the ongoing Occupy Oakland movement -- aren't interested in engaging with officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a group of people that just wants to disrupt, that just wants to cause problems,\" Bates said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another issue, the mayor said, is that it's not clear with whom the city should be communicating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know exactly who to talk to, because it's a roving group of people that are out there. And I know that our people have been in contact, the police and others, have been in contact with a couple of groups, but they all claim they don't speak for everybody. ... It's a random group of people who are out there trying to cause problems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to criticism from protesters that police used excessive force in using tear gas and batons against demonstrators on Saturday night, Bates said he was \"not in a position to evaluate.\" But he praised the city's police force for its training, performance and diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about \u003ca href=\"http://www.spjnorcal.org/new/2014/12/08/open-letter-spj-norcal-responds-to-reports-of-police-force-used-on-journalists-in-berkeley/\" target=\"_blank\">a formal complaint\u003c/a> from the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists about reported incidents of police clubbing credentialed members of the media on Saturday night, the mayor responded:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As far as the society of newspaper people, there was a real issue on Saturday night about credentials, and that was people were showing up and saying they were reporters and they were credentialed, and they had all sorts of different credentials from different agencies. And a lot of the police thought this may not be an authorized person to go through the lines. So after Saturday night, we instructed the Police Department that no, any kind of credential for a reporter would be allowed access, so I think that problem got resolved on Saturday evening.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bates added that city officials will review videos showing police behavior during the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we find somebody acted inappropriately, we're certainly not going to condone that,\" Bates said. \"And we're certainly not going to condone police violence if it's uncalled for, that's for sure.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Protest organizers have criticized police for an aggressive response on Saturday night that included batons, tear gas and the reported use of \"less than lethal\" munitions such as rubber bullets or beanbags.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said in an interview with KQED's Tara Siler on Monday that in protests during the Vietnam War era, it was common for protest organizers to have contact with public officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It really makes sense to say, 'Here's where we plan to gather, this is what we plan to do at the gathering, and we're going to march down these streets -- this is the route we're going to take,' \" Bates said. \"And that way, the police and others can pretty much assure that it'll be safe and there won't be any particular violence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/180633067&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/180633067'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bates said that although he's spoken on an \"informal\" basis with some involved in the protests, he's unsure whether other city officials have had such discussions. He said part of the problem in doing so is that some activists -- such as those in the ongoing Occupy Oakland movement -- aren't interested in engaging with officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And I know that our people have been in contact, the police and others, have been in contact with a couple of groups, but they all claim they don't speak for everybody. ... It's a random group of people who are out there trying to cause problems.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to criticism from protesters that police used excessive force in using tear gas and batons against demonstrators on Saturday night, Bates said he was \"not in a position to evaluate.\" But he praised the city's police force for its training, performance and diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about \u003ca href=\"http://www.spjnorcal.org/new/2014/12/08/open-letter-spj-norcal-responds-to-reports-of-police-force-used-on-journalists-in-berkeley/\" target=\"_blank\">a formal complaint\u003c/a> from the Northern California chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists about reported incidents of police clubbing credentialed members of the media on Saturday night, the mayor responded:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As far as the society of newspaper people, there was a real issue on Saturday night about credentials, and that was people were showing up and saying they were reporters and they were credentialed, and they had all sorts of different credentials from different agencies. And a lot of the police thought this may not be an authorized person to go through the lines. So after Saturday night, we instructed the Police Department that no, any kind of credential for a reporter would be allowed access, so I think that problem got resolved on Saturday evening.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Bates added that city officials will review videos showing police behavior during the protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If we find somebody acted inappropriately, we're certainly not going to condone that,\" Bates said. \"And we're certainly not going to condone police violence if it's uncalled for, that's for sure.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

He says he knows people who have contracted HIV while in custody. “We still have the need of sex,” he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Monico Klein recalls, when condoms were first introduced in San Francisco jails, some deputies were unhappy with the plan. Apart from the illegality of sex between inmates, there were concerns that condoms could be used for smuggling drugs, or filled with urine and thrown at staff, known as “gassing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says deputies were also concerned that making condoms available would lead to an increase in both consensual sex and sexual assault. The Sheriff’s Department says that hasn’t happened in the years since condoms have been available. But the condoms have been used in some unexpected ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We found that among other things, prisoners take the condoms and they use them as hair ties. They use them as pillows,” says Monico Klein. “One of the deputies told me that they blow them up and use them as balloons. While this initially bothered some people, she says, “we realized that this is another way of destigmatizing HIV.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after more than two decades, San Francisco Chief Deputy Sheriff Matthew Freeman says not all deputies are comfortable with condoms being available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I could not report to you that there still is buy-in from the uniformed staff,” Freeman says, and adds there are reasons sex is prohibited in jail. “We know from experiences running and managing jails that even consensual activity amongst inmates can lead to very real problems.”\u003cstrong>\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has five years to come up with its plan for distributing condoms in state prisons, a move that Mirkarimi says is “years overdue.” Other prisons and jails across the U.S. have been slow to follow San Francisco’s lead, something Mirkarimi attributes to the slow pace of reform in the criminal justice system, as well as homophobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inmate Greve says that, based on his own experience in state lockups, the only problem he imagines with providing condoms in California state prisons will be supply, because “people will want as many of them as they can get.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

He says he knows people who have contracted HIV while in custody. “We still have the need of sex,” he explains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Monico Klein recalls, when condoms were first introduced in San Francisco jails, some deputies were unhappy with the plan. Apart from the illegality of sex between inmates, there were concerns that condoms could be used for smuggling drugs, or filled with urine and thrown at staff, known as “gassing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says deputies were also concerned that making condoms available would lead to an increase in both consensual sex and sexual assault. The Sheriff’s Department says that hasn’t happened in the years since condoms have been available. But the condoms have been used in some unexpected ways.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We found that among other things, prisoners take the condoms and they use them as hair ties. They use them as pillows,” says Monico Klein. “One of the deputies told me that they blow them up and use them as balloons. While this initially bothered some people, she says, “we realized that this is another way of destigmatizing HIV.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even after more than two decades, San Francisco Chief Deputy Sheriff Matthew Freeman says not all deputies are comfortable with condoms being available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I could not report to you that there still is buy-in from the uniformed staff,” Freeman says, and adds there are reasons sex is prohibited in jail. “We know from experiences running and managing jails that even consensual activity amongst inmates can lead to very real problems.”\u003cstrong>\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has five years to come up with its plan for distributing condoms in state prisons, a move that Mirkarimi says is “years overdue.” Other prisons and jails across the U.S. have been slow to follow San Francisco’s lead, something Mirkarimi attributes to the slow pace of reform in the criminal justice system, as well as homophobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inmate Greve says that, based on his own experience in state lockups, the only problem he imagines with providing condoms in California state prisons will be supply, because “people will want as many of them as they can get.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
