Show Notes
Mens Central Jail in Los Angeles, opened in 1963, remains operational despite a 2021 plan to close it. Over 1,000 inmates have died in LA County jails since January 2023. Families like Helen Jones, whose son died there in 2009, have fought for closure due to poor conditions and safety issues. Law professor Eric Miller and District Attorney Nathan Hochman support closure, while the sheriffs department seeks a new correctional care center. The county jail closure team will share their ideas on April 7th, with families pushing for immediate action to save lives.
