Every time an inmate dies of anything but old age, guards and wardens have failed at their job. They should be suspended and investigated, then fired and prosecuted if inattention or dereliction is proven.

Every damned time.

    Depends on how and what they die from. It’s a controlled environment with (what should be) heavily monitoring by personnel (that’s what they’re paid to do).

    Problem is, jail / prison guards don’t give a shit about inmates. Even if you’re in pre-trial jail (a massive overpopulation), they’ll barely give you the fucking time. And asking for necessities is a chore itself.

    So if they actually gave a shit, few to no inmates would ever die in holding.
