"Come along with me on a ride through Skid Row, to the area’s police station, the criminal courthouse, the jail and back again, which is the route on which the city’s merry-go-round has taken Ann Moody, a 59-year-old Black homeless woman, 108 times for sleeping on a Skid Row street in violation of the city of Los Angeles’ Municipal Code 4118D, which makes it illegal to sit, sleep or lie on a public sidewalk.
