To prevent more jail deaths, we need to jail fewer people.
The scale of mass incarceration in Los Angeles is unlike anywhere else in the United States.
Beyond the squalid and cramped conditions in the nation’s largest jail system, dangerous overcrowding in L.A. County jails limits access to resources for people behind bars, including lifesaving medical care.
This issue goes beyond a mere matter of policy or administration; it is a humanitarian crisis that requires swift and decisive action. We need to reduce the Los Angeles County jail population and build services that meet people’s needs.
