The legislation from Sen. Toni Atkins and Assemblymember Akilah Weber would expand state oversight of county jails
Two bills introduced by a pair of San Diego-area lawmakers that seek to better protect men and women in California jails have been signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom. Newsom announced without comment Wednesday that he had approved Senate Bill 519 and Assembly Bill 268, legislation put forward by Sen. Toni Atkins and Assemblymember Akilah Weber, respectively, in the wake of repeated and continuing deaths in San Diego County jails.
” Both laws were designed to reduce the numbers of people who die in California jails, and followed a spate of deaths of people incarcerated in Los Angeles, Riverside and San Diego county jails. So far this year, 35 people have died in Los Angeles County jails, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department. Eighteen people died in Riverside County jails last year, records show.
