reasons. but the fighting within nccf lasted for approximately 30 to 40 minutes in one of the largest riots that l.a. county jail has ever seen. the fighting finally ended when the sheriff s emergency response teams were brought in. using verbal commands, stingball grenades, and pepper spray, sheriff deputies were able to prevent the inmates from killing each other, except for one inmate whose injuries left him in a coma, most of the men involved in the riots suffered minor injuries. jail is completely different than what it was 30 years ago. for one thing, we have much more violence-prone inmates in our system. in the past that was never a problem. we did not have the major riots and the disturbances. 30-year veteran of the sheriff s department and commander of nccf john vanderhoerk blames the growing trend of violence in jail on the state prison gangs. we have inmates who are
