The deaths come as the county faces scrutiny in court for its chronically poor jail conditions and its reliance on cash bail to keep people behind bars.

Three Los Angeles County inmates died in an nine-day period this month, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, a grim milestone that comes even as the county is facing scrutiny in court for using a cash bail system that can keep poor people behind bars.

“We are saddened by any loss of life,” the statement said. “We take our responsibility of providing a constitutional level of care for those in our custody seriously.” “The jails are still over capacity, and over half the deaths this year are of Black men in a county where something like 5% of the population are Black men,” he said. “When incarceration rates are vastly reduced and the county meets its goals to close Men’s Central Jail, I’ll definitely be singing from the rooftops.”

In November, a group of inmates and religious leaders sued the county, the Sheriff’s Department, the city and the Los Angeles Police Department, arguing that the bail system in Los Angeles County is unconstitutional.
