Jail expansion vs. decarceration is a matter of life and death. Data shows that county-level jail incarceration is associated with an increase in deaths — hurting the entire community. Keep that in mind as DHS & ICE eye warehouses to expand their detention network.

Chart showing that there were 57 more deaths in Baldwin County, AL, with 50% increase in jail rate after new jail construction, meanwhile Contra Costa County CA, had 52 fewer deaths with 25% reduction in jail rate after COVID-related decarceration.

Toilet flush restrictions, shower limits, deadly disease outbreaks. These inhumane conditions aren't out of a dystopian fiction story – they're real-life in California prisons. So much for being a "progressive" state.

More than 1 in 5 people are jailed multiple times a year There is no "safe" way to jail a person – even a single day in jail has devastating effects. And people who are jailed multiple times a year inevitably face exacerbated consequences of incarceration:
