This is of course in addition to attacks on protesters on Saturday by the OPD. Corralling people then tear gassing them, firing rubber bullets or beanbag rounds at them, and throwing flashbangs.

Women arrestees were forced to give urine samples in front of male officers, ostensibly for pregnancy testing.

If you want to contact the Alameda County Sheriff's Department, which is the organization that runs the jail, their number is (510) 272-6878

As some people have noted only one source has said anything about being tear gassed in the jail. I am waiting for further confirmation of this. It is possible that there was confusion between getting tear gassed while being detained by the police, which happened before people were sent to jail, and getting tear gassed while at the jail. This is the only fact that is in dispute in this account. Everything else has been verified by multiple sources. I will pass on further confirmation when I hear from more sources.

Also, here is a statement from Occupywallst.org about what happened in Oakland. Note that what is published on the site does not get approved by the GA but does go through one of the working groups, or did when I was still involved in NYC.
