Over the past year, nine people in the custody of the state’s largest jail have died – and eight of those deaths occurred during a five-month period from August 2020 to January 2021.
It’s an unprecedented spike, says attorney Peter Cubra, a longtime advocate for inmates at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

“I’ve been working around this jail since 1984,” Cubra said. “This number of deaths is astronomically higher than any other time in history and it should be treated as a crisis. If it’s not being treated as a crisis it means these people are being devalued by the government.”
