Saturday's protest at the site of new prison building was held on Bastille Day, a day that commemorates the storming of the Bastille fortress-prison in France in 1798. On July 14th, Occupy Redwood City members took their protest to the jail site because it has become alarmingly clear that the Board of Supervisors approved the prison expansion without considering the opinions expressed by community members.
