Description

We're back with another installment of LA On The Margins, a collection of stories produced by students at USC. This time, reporter Sophie Sullivan takes us to the largest jail in LA County — a jail considered by many to be uninhabitable, and which, in 2021, was ordered closed by L.A. County Supervisors due to "inhumane conditions." But the jail still stands today.

In this episode, we hear from families whose loved ones died while in custody of the jail and who now seek answers as to why. 

A warning - this episode contains mentions of suicide and includes strong language.

This story was co-published and supported by the journalism non-profit the Economic Hardship Reporting Project.
