FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - More than 100 inmates awaiting federal immigration hearings staged a peaceful protest Sunday to complain about jail conditions and ended it hours later, satisfied.
Monmouth County Undersheriff Ted Freeman said 132 inmates refused to eat or participate in activities because they wanted, among other things, more food and Spanish-speaking officers, and for a television set to be fixed.
"The warden has been meeting with them all day, and their concerns have been met," Freeman told the Asbury Park Press. "The demonstration — or whatever you want to call it — is over."
