CLEVELAND, Ohio — Community activists plan to protest inhumane conditions at the Cuyahoga County Jail ahead of Tuesday’s Cuyahoga County Council meeting.

The Cleveland branch of the NAACP is encouraging people to attend the protest that is sponsored by Puncture the Silence-Stop Mass Incarceration, Black Lives Matter Cleveland, the Cuyahoga County Progressive Caucus and several other groups.

They plan to gather at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday outside the Cuyahoga County administration building at East 9th Street and Prospect Avenue in downtown Cleveland, according to a news release. The group will then go inside the building to attend the council meeting at 5 p.m.

The demonstration comes about three weeks after the release of a U.S. Marshals Service report that identified “inhumane” conditions at the county jail that included depriving inmates of food as punishment, a lack of access to toilets and running water and routine violations of inmates’ constitutional rights to due process.

“We feel like it’s important to do this because every day [cleveland.com] writes something, and it’s obvious the county is not responding in a way that is commensurate with the problems at the jail,” said organizer Carol Steiner, who is with Puncture the Silence-Stop Mass Incarceration.

Organizers say the demonstration is aimed at protesting against the “inhumanity” at the county jail as well as demanding more urgent change from the administration of County Executive Armond Budish. Protesters also want the county to provide to the public regular progress reports about the changes it is making at the jail to improve conditions.

Other groups that are sponsoring the protest are Black on Black Crime Inc., Ohio Student Association, Showing Up for Racial Justice, Ohio Organizing Collaborative and Cleveland Lead Safe Network.
