You think your bus ride stinks?

What happens when the Los Angeles County Civil Grand Jury doesn't like the sheriff's buses that occasionally take them on field trips and are also used to transport prisoners?

They investigate the matter. And write:

"While the Civil Grand Jury certainly appreciates the transportation service provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, it was noted on at least two occasions that buses provided were windowless, graffiti-filled, and poorly ventilated. On other occasions, the rattling of doors and handcuff chains on the inmate cages made meaningful conversation virtually impossible."

It's all in the grand jury's annual report. And thanks to the eagle-eyed reader who found it there.
