Amid Staffing Crisis, Yet Another Dallas County Jail Inmate on Suicide Watch Died Last Week
Another Dallas County Jail inmate on suicide watch died just last week - weeks after state inspectors flagged the jail for inadequate monitoring of mental health inmates.Amid an ongoing staffing shortage at Dallas County Jail, a man held there died while on suicide watch early on Friday, according to internal county records.
The jailer who filed the incident report documenting Stewart’s death says that he found Stewart “laying in a pool of blood.” Parkland Hospital System EMT’s reached Stewart’s cell at 4:48 a.m.; it took another 25 minutes before he was carried into an ambulance. It’s unclear from the report and other jailers’ testimony what Stewart might have used to draw his own blood in such volume, or how he managed to do so while incarcerated in a suicide watch unit.
“If we’re backlogged at the courts level, the jail is going to feel the impacts of that backlog,” said Price, who was unaware of Stewart's death on Friday.
