The lead plaintiffs — Tikisha Upshaw, Tyreka Stewart and Andrea Hernandez — said the lights are never turned off, even at night. Lights in common areas are supposed to go out at 11 p.m. and breakfast is supposed to be served between 4 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., but according to the complaint, sheriff’s deputies routinely shine flashlights into prisoners’ eyes, bang keys and flashlights on metal doors, and distribute medication at 3 a.m. accompanied by disruptive announcements.
