The San Antonio press has had a flurry of coverage recently related to the increased number of suicides at the Bexar County Jail, with some laying the blame at the Sheriff's feet and others defending him. Here are some of the key recent pieces of coverage:
The SA Current piece by Michael Barajas is perhaps the best of the lot. A key quote from the Current: "'Our jail is essentially another mental health facility,' Joel Janssen,
president of the Bexar County Deputy Sheriff's Association, the union
representing jail guards, told the Current earlier this month, a symptom
of the state's dismal funding of mental health care. 'We're dealing
with a different class of inmates than when I started 30 years ago, I
can tell you that for sure.'"
