America's jails have a long history of killing inmates, most of whom die in jails before they are even convicted of a crime. Deaths behind bars are a direct result of abysmal, correctional facilities' policies, mostly for-profit medical providers, largely absent administrators, and unchecked brutality by jail deputies.
