Legislation would address treatment of inmates, especially those suffering from a mental illness
Legislation aimed at improving medical, mental health and training standards for jails in California has moved another step toward becoming law.
Speaking at the hearing, Weber pointed out that many counties have faced litigation over jail conditions — San Diego County is facing a class-action lawsuit filed by a coalition of civil rights attorneys — and the bill’s provisions would “improve the health and safety of incarcerated individuals in all detention facilities.”
According to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Serna family, a deputy and a nurse watched as Elisa, 24, suffered a seizure and lost consciousness, hitting her head on the cell wall as she collapsed. Instead of rendering aid, they closed the door; Elisa died shortly after. A 2019 investigation by The San Diego Union-Tribune, “Dying Behind Bars,” also found that San Diego County had the highest mortality rate of California’s large jail systems, and that while people with mental illness make up about one-third of the local jail population, they represented roughly half of the 140 in-custody deaths the investigation examined.
