Bill comes in response to scathing audit last month and after two jail deaths this week
The seven-month analysis, which examined in-custody deaths over 15 years, said conditions inside San Diego jails were so unsafe that state lawmakers needed to intervene to force the Sheriff’s Department to do better.
“Our review identified deficiencies with how the Sheriff’s Department provides care for and protects incarcerated individuals, which likely contributed to in-custody deaths,” wrote Michael Tilden, the acting state auditor.They also matched the findings of a six-month investigation published by The San Diego Union-Tribune in 2019 that disclosed the county has the highest mortality rate among other large California counties by far.
The “Saving Lives in Custody Act” was written to address what lawmakers said were systemic deficiencies in local jails, by raising the standard of care for prisoners. It also adds two licensed health professionals as members of the Board of State and Community Corrections. “I can’t do nothin’ for him, but the future persons who are unfortunately jailed and come downtown to this jail here run by the Sheriff’s Department, there’s a good chance that they will make it out,” Mills said.
