Joint Recommendations Following Multi-Agency County Jail 2 Tour and Roundtable

This memorandum presents joint recommendations from the Department of Police Accountability (DPA), the Human Rights Commission (HRC), the Office of Transgender Initiatives (OTI), the Commission on the Status of Women (COSW), and Department on the Status of Women (DOSW) following a December 8, 2025, multi-agency tour and briefing of County Jail #2 (CJ2). The visit was facilitated by Sheriff Miyamoto in response to a complaint filed by the Public Defender regarding an alleged strip search conducted by Sheriff’s Deputies on May 22, 2025, of multiple incarcerated individuals at the facility. The incident was followed by an October 15, 2025, report of an alleged sexual assault of a transwoman in a bathroom of CJ2.

The initial recommendations outlined are intended to support transparency, accountability, improved conditions, and strengthened trust between incarcerated individuals, the Sheriff’s Office, and oversight entities.
