Keeping it Real: FAC Sues Riverside Over Transparency in Quest for Sheriff Department Jail Deaths Accountability

The First Amendment Coalition has filed a lawsuit against Riverside County for refusing to disclose records related to in-custody deaths at Riverside County jails, seeking to enforce the new California transparency law, SB 519.

A report published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) dated June 3, 2025, assessed a cohort of about 3.26 million incarcerated adults nationwide, including those in county jails from 2008 through 2019. The report found individuals incarcerated at the time of the survey experienced a 39% higher risk of all-cause mortality and more than three (3) times the risk of overdose mortality compared with nonincarcerated individuals nationally. Riverside County is now beginning to nearly outpace the nation as it relates to in-custody deaths. Not only did this county have the highest homicide rate among large jails in the state from 2020 through 2023; other deaths, including murders, made Riverside County jails the second-deadliest in the nation during this same period.
