What is the effect of a sheriff's failure to provide exercise for female inmates?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Daniels v. McKinney, 146 Cal.App.3d 42, 193 Cal.Rptr. 842 (Cal. App. 1983):

On the basis of the aforesaid evidence and the plan proposed by the sheriff, the trial court issued a memorandum of decision which contained an exercise plan for all jail inmates. 2 In making its decision, the court ruled that shortages of personnel or other resources by the sheriff did not justify [146 Cal.App.3d 48] a failure to provide inmates with an opportunity for exercise, citing Spain v. Procunier (9th Cir.1979) 600 F.2d 189, 190. Nevertheless, because the sheriff had made a good faith effort to comply with the previous order in Poland v. McKinney relating to female inmates and had demonstrated a continued willingness to comply, he (the sheriff) was not in willful contempt.
