Drugs are a problem in San Diego County jails.

According to a study by Analytica Consulting, inmates in San Diego jails have the highest death rates related to drugs. A person incarcerated in a San Diego jail is twice as likely to die from a drug overdose than a person in another California jail.

Kelly Davis is a freelance journalist who covers jails for the Union-Tribune. In this episode, she discusses what brought on this finding of misconduct and how the department’s protocols might change.
