City officials and families in the area are pushing for reform at the Bexar County Jail. The jail is facing scrutiny due to its high mortality rate, which is among the highest in Texas.
Many of the deaths at the jail are related to mental health issues and drug withdrawal. This has become a significant concern for those calling for change.
Further information on the situation and the efforts to address it can be found through WOAI News 4.
