Community leaders, advocates and family members of Aamonte Hadley gathered outside the San Francisco Women’s Jail this week to demand justice after the death of 22-year-old Aamonte Hadley.
Aamonte, a young Black woman and member of the LGBTQ+ community, died Sept. 3 after being held pre-trial in SF County Jail for two years, according to the statement by The Worker Agency.
“Jail is no place for someone struggling with mental health issues or substance use disorders,” asserted Lucero Herrera, Interim Site Director of the Young Women’s Freedom Center San Francisco.
