Despite a 1996 demolition order, and despite all of City Hall agreeing that CJ4 should be closed, the jail has remained open. For years,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/nonewsfjail.org\/testimony-tiles\/\">people imprisoned at CJ4 have reported&nbsp;<\/a>noxious fumes, flooding, and overflowing sewage covering cells, along with the inherently dehumanizing conditions of being imprisoned, with no impactful action from the city. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phone\/ Email ,<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Rafael Mandelman,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:MandelmanStaff@sfgov.org\">MandelmanStaff@sfgov.org<\/a>,&nbsp;<a>(415) 554-6968<\/a>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Norman Yee,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:Norman.Yee@sfgov.org\">Norman.Yee@sfgov.org<\/a>, (415) 554-6516;&nbsp;,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Catherine Stefani,&nbsp;<a>(415) 554-7752<\/a>,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:Catherine.Stefani@sfgov.org\">Catherine.Stefani@sfgov.org<\/a>;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Ahsha Safai,&nbsp;<a>(415) 554-6975<\/a>,&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:ahsha.safai@sfgov.org\">ahsha.safai@sfgov.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<em>UPDATE:&nbsp;<\/em>Supervisors Mar and Peskin just signed on<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Suggested script:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u201cHi Supervisor __________.
