There have been 9 deaths in LASD custody in the first 9 weeks of 2025. LA County has still not set forth the MCJ closure plan from March 30th, 2021. This report outlined how to close the jail in 18-24 months. Join us on April 1st at the board to demand #NoMoreDelay, #CloseMCJ!
One death every 6 days. Save the date, close men’s central jail rally Tuesday April 1st, Time TBD.

This death was both predictable and preventable by LA County BOS. Earlier this year, the Sybil Brand commission labeled 171 at Twin Towers “one of the worst kept” and “a serious health and safety risk for all”. What more will it take for the Board of Supervisors to actually fund Care?
