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.

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:
