Attorney Dean Malone defends constitutional rights and supports families of prisoners who died in custody.Chris Cabler worked hard, loved animals and had a big heart. He would help his family whenever he could. He had two grown children he loved dearly and a grandson who was 6 days old when he died. On May 5, 2019, Cabler hanged himself in a jail in Red River County after being arrested for a failure to appear for a ticket for driving without insurance.
“They wouldn’t talk to me, nobody would, as hard as I tried, and I wore myself out that last week, at least the last two weeks before he passed,” his mother said. “Something has to happen, it just does. I mean, this is ridiculous when a parent is telling you something … my child, please, and they’re not even going to give you a phone call back.”
“I’m probably [the] only Baylor law school graduate that can say when I graduated law school, I had never a spent a night in McLennan County,” where Waco is located, he said. According to the Texas Justice Initiative, some 12,218 people have died in custody in Texas since 2005. Suicides make up 11% of those, roughly the same percentages of deaths as homicide at 12%. Combined, suicide and homicide make up almost a quarter of in-custody deaths. Cases that fall into these categories can be gruesome and sad.
“When I tell people what I do, they say, ‘Gosh, how in the world can you deal with those cases day in and day out?’” Malone said. “I have to distance myself a bit from what happened, or I just couldn’t do it. [But] I really get satisfaction out of doing the best I can for these families who have been through horrible situations.”
Getting arrested can turn deadly for many, but lawsuits against officers, jails or prisons are neither easy nor quick. In part, that's due to qualified immunity, a legal principle that provides protection for government officials and police officers against legal retribution unless it can be shown that they clearly violated policy or broke the law.
The county was cited for five instances of noncompliance in February 2021 and for one instance in October 2018. TCJS checks the records, or sheets, kept by jails to make sure they are compliant. But in Texas, falsifying records is a serious problem. There was one case, in Hill County, when. Video shows one of the jailers entering false information on the sheet. That jailer didn’t get fired or prosecuted, was allowed to continue to work and will be able to retire.
