Opinion: San Diego County Sheriff's Department's move to limit jail opioid deaths is years late [Opinion]
The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department’s record on jail deaths is indisputably appalling when it comes to the simplest metric of all: More than 210 inmates have died at county jails since 2006, a mortality ratethan seen in other large county jail systems in California. The great majority of those deaths occurred while Bill Gore was sheriff from 2009 to February of this year. Yet until his final day in office, Gore rejected critiques of his jail stewardship.

It doesn’t explain why local county death rates are higher than elsewhere. Instead, it shows why his jail management went so awry. Three years ago, the then-sheriff appreciated the seriousness of the opioid crisis.
