Opinion: San Diego's citizens must demand an end to jail deaths [Opinion]
Some 185 people died in county jails between 2006 and 2020, and state investigators described conditions as dangerous. Things are not getting better, with 40 people dying in sheriff’s custody since the start of 2021.
There is an urgent need to find a way to prevent these tragic and often preventable deaths. The steps proposed here cover a lot of issues, including eliminating what appears to be an arbitrary one-year limit on investigating complaints.We as a community must support these efforts and lobby for their approval by the review board and the county Board of Supervisors.
