Upon leaving San Quentin State Prison this morning after serving a 22-year sentence, Tith Ton was immediately detained by a private security firm contracted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He was taken to the ICE office in San Francisco and will be headed to the Yuba County Jail, said Anoop Prasad, an attorney with the Asian Law Caucus.
Conditions in Yuba County Jail are “pretty terrible,” Prasad said. It is known for its 23-hour lockdown, with no yard or natural light for inmates.
