| Would 500 Thread Count Sheets Work ? |
| A recent story coming out of our horrible Los Angeles County Jails concerns the use of sub-par linens that inmates are using to hang themselves. Jail-issued mattresses and blankets designed to prevent suicides have failed repeatedly to meet their safety goals, as several Los Angeles County inmates have been able to fashion nooses from their inferior bedding. Department officials say inmates chew at the blankets and sheets lined stiching and work them until they give, thus allowing them to be torn into strips used for suicide by hanging. This issue poses many problems, not least of which are the lawsuits that the County of Los Angeles must ultimately deal with as a result of their "negligence". Due to the intense budget crisis facing this County, and State, officials have been forced to buy the cheaper alternative bedding which is literally being ripped to shread's. Sheriff's department spokesman say that every time they come up with an alternative or "solution" to the problem the inmates figure out how to beat it. Which really proves that the police department is always playing catch-up against the ingenuity of a criminal. In my time as a bail bond agent here in Los Angeles, i've never had a concerned family member ask me if the sheets at the jail were "up to par" to prevent suicide. |
