Episode Details

Los Angeles County officials are taking action to improve safety in county jails following ten inmate deaths in the first two months of the year. The Board of Supervisors approved a motion to implement measures such as increased use of Naloxone, better camera surveillance, and more frequent safety checks. The county is on track for another record year of in-custody deaths, surpassing last years total of forty-six. Sheriff Robert Luna attributed the high number of deaths to the booking of older and sicker inmates with complex health needs. The county is also facing a lawsuit over filthy conditions and limited medical care in jails.
