You know, I think I can stand behind that 100 percent and I wish I couldn't. But the sad thing, having seen so many of these videos and looked so closely at these cases, I think what I've seen again and again is that in some of them it actually was ruled homicide because of that specific type of long scale neglect.

Every day someone was coming in and noticing this person hadn't had a drink of water. In some cases, in cases that were found homicides, the people actually at the jail had shut the water off to the cell. I mean, I'm thinking about a young man named Keaton Ferris. He grew up right near where my parents live. My parents live on Orcas Island off the coast of Washington State.

It's a really beautiful place. And Keaton really loved it. He always was writing on social media about his love of the ocean and of nature. And then he wound up in a jail in the midst of a mental health crisis where the jail officials actually cut the water off to his cell for four days.

And in his case, ultimately, the sheriff did apologize when he died to the family, but they had to protest immediately. for almost every day outside the jail. And there's a big community movement kind of speaking up about this in his case, but also a great many others.

Well, in a shocking number of the lawsuits, records were actively destroyed. In some cases, judges found in regard to some of the companies that records had not just been accidentally discarded, but there were problems with the choice to not retain records, even in the context of litigation where a teenager had died. And so that was a major issue I found.

And then even just trying to get the basics on like who's dying in jails and of what, we found that often when we asked for records, first of all, the jails don't keep good records on the specific category of death. The categories often we found were people were said to have had a quote unquote natural death.

And these were people often in their 30s or 40s or again, even their teens who had died of starvation, which doesn't seem terribly natural, but that's how it's classified most of the time in the records.
