The Orange County Sheriff’s Department said it has resumed serving hot meals in county jails, more than a week after a state board told the agency it was violating a regulation by not providing inmates with at least one hot meal a day.
The California Board of State and Community Corrections raised the issue after it was contacted by the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California.
The ACLU sent a letter to the BSCC in early April, contending that the sheriff’s department hasn’t served hot meals in its jails for about a year.

SANTA ANA (CNS) - Three Orange County sheriff s deputies, including one who allegedly dumped hot water on an inmate s arm, are on administrative leave as they await word on whether any charges will be filed by prosecutors, who were presented today with the results of the department s investigation.
The alleged attack happened on April 1 in the mental health-housing module at the Intake Release Center in Santa Ana, said Carrie Braun of the Orange County Sheriff s Department.
The inmate was asked to sign a disciplinary notice, but refused when it was passed through a cell door hatch, Braun said. The inmate instead stuck his hands through the cell door hatch and refused to bring them back inside the cell, she said.
