'There's really a long, long way to go in that facility': lawyer, families discuss San Diego County jail conditions [Breaking]
Cheryl Canson stood at a town hall meeting in Chula Vista last week holding a poster board decorated with pictures of her family.
Many of those deaths were the result of suicides and drug overdoses, and many of the people involved were dealing with mental illness. In some cases the deaths were the result of homicides. “I would say that my impression, having spent part of the day there, is that there’s really a long, long way to go in that facility,“ the attorney said during the town hall. “We toured with a captain, our expert and the county’s expert, and all I can say is that it’s a very difficult environment.”the department has made over the last year to better meet the needs of mentally ill people in custody, including working to get them into conservatorships if needed.
“The Sheriff’s Department has been diligently working to implement changes in our detention facilities to ensure the safety, health and well-being of people in our custody,” Baggs said in a statement.Grunfeld said that when she toured the downtown jail on March 13, she saw inadequate ways for inmates to call for help and that many of the intercom systems were broken. She also said the jail still housed three inmates in vertical bunks, a practice that has been reduced in many California prisons.
Sheriff’s deputies, medical and mental health professionals, a compliance manager and a facility project manager will work to ensure inmates with disabilities have equal treatment, Baggs said. “I was in modules with people with mental health issues, and they would just throw them in there without any supervision,” Chhay said. “And you could just tell, just by looking, that this person doesn’t belong in this module.”
