In-custody hanging death reported at California jail

Just the other day there was a post here about a California prison guard sexually assaulting female inmates, confessing to the crime, and we still had comments ... supporting the guard? At the very least, victim-blaming:

On the other hand, the ones claiming to be sexually assaulted are hardly the best people themselves, so you have to take their stories with a fair amount of salt.

And that's a huge part of the problem. Some people, especially in the US, just don't give a shit about anyone in the system. These same idiots also fail to realize that at any moment of their small, boring lives they could also be carted off to prison for a crime they didn't commit. It happens all the time, every day.

We need real investigations, and we need the general public to put pressure on state attorneys to actually investigate and file charges.
