From 2006-20, 185 fatalities were reported in the seven detention centers the San Diego Sheriff's Department oversees.
A man died while in custody at the San Diego Central Jail, law enforcement said Friday.
The 31-year-old inmate was found unresponsive,"slumped over" near a partition in a holding cell on the second floor of the jail around 6 p.m., according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Office. NBC 7's Dana Griffin spoke to the father of a man who died in custody about that can change in San Diego jails.
The man, whose name was withheld, was pronounced dead at 6:28 p.m., despite lifesaving procedures — including administering Naloxone, a drug that, according to the National Institutes for Health,"rapidly reverses an opioid overdose."
