Racial Segregation of Black Inmates in Maricopa County’s 4th Avenue Jail Challenged by Black Defendants Represented by Comeback Law P.C.PHOENIX, Oct. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Several Black inmates incarcerated in Maricopa County’s 4th Avenue Jail are filing appeals to the Arizona Court of Appeals challenging the racial segregation of Black inmates in the jail. Sheriff Jerry Sheridan’s policy forces all Black inmates to be housed in the same cells but White and Hispanic inmates are allowed to be housed together. There is no immediate racial crisis in the jail and this segregation of Black inmates is a permanent practice. The special action appeal is being filed by Dave Erlichman, Comeback Law PC, a major felony defense firm in Phoenix.
