Locked Up: Danger In America’s Jails

The Huffington Post released a scathing report revealing that 811 people — or more 2 people per day — have died while being held in an American jail since Sandra Bland’s death inside of the Waller County Jail in Texas one year ago. Unlike prisons, suicide is the leading cause of death in U.S. jails since people are sent there right after they’ve been arrested and are often angry, desperate or afraid. According to the report, they may also be intoxicated or have psychiatric conditions that are easily overlooked by police officers. We discussed this shocking report and solutions to decrease the fatality rate inside U.S. jails with Margo Schlanger, Professor of Law at the University of Michigan Law School
