After yet another critical report about deaths in San Diego County jails, community advocates are again demanding the district attorney do something or step down. KPBS reporter John Carroll heard from family members today demanding justice for their loved ones who died behind bars.
They gathered Wednesday on the steps of the building named for justice itself and their demands were clear.Racial Justice Coalition of San DiegoFishman sounded a now-familiar call; for DA Summer Stephan to either prosecute those responsible for in-custody deaths in county jails or resign. “They’re homicides and it’s improper treatment and care that people are getting in jail," Fishman said.
One by one family members told their stories with a mixture of anger and sadness about what happened to their loved ones while in custody. "On Valentine’s Day, my dad was found deceased on [the] Vista jail floor, naked, alone, cold and in his feces... I want somebody to answer. I want somebody to say, 'we were neglectful.' But none of that will bring back my dad, who’s never even had a traffic ticket," said Jennifer Schmidt.
