so different for me. you need to take each day as a gift. and live for those that don't get to do that anymore. >> the 2017 las vegas shooting is the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history. police and fbi officials say the gunman meticulously planned that attack and despite extensive investigations, authorities have not found a clear motive to explain why the gunman opened fire. a dallas

handled down handed down. >> she worked hard. >> reporter: the debate for jurors was whether geiger used an unreasonable amount of force. they have the option to convict her on lesser charges of

autopsy reports reveal that over the past five years santa rita jail in alameda county has had the highest death rate of any jail system here in the bay area and it is even higher than the nation's largest jail. i brought the results of our investigation directly to the sheriff. >> we met on instagram. we got into a relationship. he is really sweet. he has a big heart. >> reporter: vanessa reyes last visited her husband this past july at santa rita jail. raymond reyes junior had violated his parole for prior glory. >> that morning i had a visit with him. we visited and everything was normal. i went to the window and he waved at me. he said i will see you tomorrow. so i just went home. it was a normal visit. >> reporter: everything was not normal. later that night reyes got a phone call that no wife ever want. >> they told me that he passed. they just told me that he passed away. >> reporter: she was told her 22-year-old husband and the father of their four-month-old son had committed suicide. reyes is one of 40 people who died at the bay area's largest jail over the last five years. that is an even higher rate than san francisco, contra costa county, san mateo county and even the nation's largest jail system in los angeles county. of those deaths, inside santa rita at least 14 people committed suicide and 11 of those inmates who took their own life were being kept in some sort of isolation. that means limited access to the outdoors and human contact for up to 23 hours a day. >> the people that come into our custody have very complex crisis sees in their life. it is not just one thing. it is help, drugs, alcohol, mental health issues etc. alameda county sheriff allowed 2 investigates to tour santa rita and show us where inmates are held in cells by themselves. >> reporter: what would be a reason why these inmates would be in isolation? >> right now a fight, disrupting inmates, challenging inmates, destruction of jail property. >> we are responsible to do visual checks on everybody every hour. special handling once every 30 minutes and some that are on more intensive watch every 15 minutes. >> reporter: the sheriff has come under fire for how the jail treats inmates with mental health issues. >> reporter: do you see any correlation between inmates being held in isolation and inmates wanting to harm themselves? >> there are a higher number of percentages, you can't deny that. people in isolation have greater percentage but the numbers have been reducing for the last five years. >> reporter: the link between isolation and suicide is nothing new. in 2014 a study showed that inmates in isolation were three times more likely to try to harm themselves. >> we try to address those issues through counseling, medication and prevention. >> putting someone in isolation is a very serious thing. bilski jose has been closely monitoring the high death rate in santa rita. >> we know that if someone does have health issues or suicidal tendencies that only exasperates the problem. you play someone alone in a problem by themselves, you deprive them of a lot of basic things that are considered human dignities to everyone, having access to a toilet, toilet paper, it only exacerbates the issue. >> reporter: the sheriff and his department are facing a class-action lawsuit over this issue. the plaintiff say they want santa rita's cruel and unusual isolations to end. if changes are made civil rights attorney, john, said he wants the feds to step in. >> it may be that federal oversight will be necessary here if the sheriff itself or whoever is in charge doesn't take this more seriously and reduce these numbers. >> reporter: the sheriff said since last year they made a concerted effort to bring 150 isolated inmates into group settings and they have received $54 million to build a new mental health unit at santa rita. >> if you are an athlete and you got criticized for the speed you ran your myelin, you would go out and improve your speed. >> reporter: you take the criticism to her? >> oh yeah. we do our best to answer each and every allegation. if it is accurate we fix it. >> reporter: 2 investigates learned the civil rights division has been investigating mental health services here at santa rita jail since 2017. >> we welcome these reviews. if you can find a better practice for us, a better method of doing what we are doing, we adapt that. and one death in our custody is not acceptable. we don't want anyone to die. we go through great pains and efforts to keep people alive. >> reporter: the meantime the reyes family is preparing their own lawsuit and hoping changes will come. his sister can't accept that her brothers life ended this way. >> they said it was a suicide. in my heart i don't feel he did that. he has this four-month-old son and all he ever wanted was to have a family. >> reporter: a lot of families obviously hurting. speaking with the sheriff he acknowledges that the number of people who have died behind bars in santa rita over the past few years is not acceptable. but he essentially said to me i am doing what i can to reduce the number of inmates were being held in isolation. shipping them to group settings. at the same time he said he is making steps to try to improve the mental health support that is offered. >> you see a lot of people go to prison who have mentor health issues and yet they remain in prison. you see prisons in other states that rikers island where you see a lot of the same issues with mental health and isolation. they are all really difficult situations for anybody to deal with. hopefully they can get to the bottom of the mental health. >> the situation is being exacerbated by mental health issues. the ninth circuit court of appeals in san francisco heard legal arguments about to trump administration policies. as we report from the federal courthouse there are a lot of tough questions from the judges for attorneys. >> reporter: one hearing before the ninth circuit court of appeals for two separate immigration policies from the trump administration, both have to do with the asylum process and how people coming to the u.s. are allowed to apply for it. one of the rules is called the remain in mexico policy. asylum-seekers from any country who passed through the southern border must wait in mexico while their cases are processed in the u.s. opponents say the policy puts migrants lives at risk. >> sending people back to danger without regard of what might happen to them there. sending them back to a place where there is no human protections and leaving them on their own is cruel and unlawful. >> reporter: u.s. attorneys arguing for the policy say it is a necessary way to slow down the flow of migrations through the us-mexico border. one of the judges seemed skeptical. >> you don't even ask. you are giving them nothing. you are not even asking them the key question to say are you afraid? >> reporter: the other rule was an asylum band band. it would stop migrants seeking asylum unless they come through an official port of entry. >> congress recognized that the attorney general could establish additional limitations. no one is entitled to be granted asylum and there's nothing barring consideration of manor of entry. >> the legal challenge to the asylum band was brought to courts by a bay area nonprofit. their members met outside the courthouse this morning to head in together. despite the tough questions for u.s. attorneys from the judges, a law professor said immigration advocates may have an uphill battle hill. >> the supreme court is watching and indicated they are watching. >> reporter: in recent court decisions, the supreme court has stepped in to side with the administration. >> you can bet that the lawyers in the trump administration will immediately run to the supreme court the moment these decisions come out if they come out against the administration. >> reporter: there is no timeline or deadline for the judges to issue their decision on the policies. in most cases the decisions come down between 3-6 months after the hearings. in san francisco,
