Sheriff's Department provides few details, but sources say it was a suicide
A San Diego Central Jail inmate was found dead the day before Thanksgiving, marking the 16th death in San Diego County jails this year.The Sheriff’s Department confirmed the death, but provided few details, after The San Diego Union-Tribune asked about the case.
Supervisors Dianne Jacob and Nathan Fletcher requested the study in September after the publication of “Dying Behind Bars,” a six-month Union-Tribunethat exposed deadly lapses in medical and mental health treatment inside San Diego jails — and the millions of dollars those deaths cost in lawsuits. They issued a joint statement saying it was premature to compare the latest death with previous ones.
The Sheriff’s Department hired a statistician to rebut that finding. Gore also used that report to challenge “Dying Behind Bars.” “This is another example of a person identified as having a serious mental health need being placed in a unit where there are clearly ineffective treatment and safety practices,” Fischer said.
