Okla Co Jail Trust Accused Of Violating State s Open Meeting Act; Meeting Postponed After Technical Issues

There are concerns that the Oklahoma County Jail Trust violated the state s Open Meeting Act. Technical issues halted the group s virtual meeting Monday afternoon, but trust members told News 9 they were confused with the format change. We absolutely were in violation of the Open Meetings Act, said trustee Francie Ekwerekwu. Just minutes before the meeting, Ekwerekwu was going to appear in-person, but she realized that wasn t an option. Every meeting has had an in-person option up until today, said Ekwerekwu. I was the only person to be in-person at the last trust meeting. People upset with the format joined the meeting and spoke out, but they could barely be heard. Other people were heard loud and clear. At one point, someone appeared to talk about a community member trying to speak.

Lawmakers Ask US Attorney General To Intervene At Oklahoma County Jail

Lowe, a criminal defense attorney, described the day in, day out conditions as horrendous. From the bedbugs to mold to lack of access to medical care and basic health and hygiene needs, it is clear that what is taking place at the Oklahoma County Jail is a civil rights violation that deserves the attention of our federal government, Lowe said.
