Finding F4
Understaffing at the MDF is creating the need to release inmates because the jail has reached capacity. Per MDF leadership, and the previous Grand Jury report, in 2024, a total of 18 individuals were released under the consent decree. In 2025 this number dropped to 6. The individuals released were in different stages of their court proceedings or serving time when released. The individuals released were determined to be the most suitable for release based on the consent decree criteria. (Re: Yolo County Jail NA (E.D. Cal.) | Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse)
