UPDATE: This is the THIRD DEATH in ONE WEEK at Men's Central Jail, and LASD's 29th in-custody death this year.

Reminder that MCJ is a dilapidated 60-year-old facility the county said they would close earlier this year, but failed to. https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2023-03-30/dangerous-l-a-jail-reaches-shutdown-target-date-with-no-closure-in-sight

Why is L.A.'s cruel Men's Central Jail still open on shutdown date?

The decrepit lockup facility was to close today under Board of Supervisors' two-year timeline, but it remains full with no end in sight.
