What is happening in our County Jails?

Jeanne Brown | Published on 9/1/2024
Our September meeting will highlight Jeff McDonald as our speaker. You will recognize Jeff from his many articles in the U-T regarding the deaths in our county jails, along with other topics important to our community. Jeff will give us his perspective of what has been happening over the years regarding our high rate of jail deaths along with other conditions in the jails where there might be improvements.

After we hear from Jeff, we will review the three reports that our members have written over the summer. These include what an Inspector General would bring to our county, how police officers’ unions affect many decisions regarding jails and how jail deaths in San Diego County compare to others in California.
